Patent and Inventions Program

Does Workday and other companies like SAP, ServiceNow, Salesforce reward engineers for patents? If so, what does it include?

Salesforce PlNbGy3 Nov 14, 2018

Yes Salesforce does.

Do they give you a cash award?

Salesforce PlNbGy3 Nov 14, 2018

Yes one for submitting and one when the patent is issued.

Generally patent savvy companies pay you 1500$ per filing and 1500$ per grant...YMMV
