ContextVision claimed that the invention is the result of work performed by the two inventors during their employment with ContextVision and, consequently, that ContextVision is the owner of the patent application, according to a press release.

It goes that In 2006 five employees left ContextVision and set up a new company, Sapheneia Commercial Products AB (SCP), together with two American citizens who had been engaged as consultants by ContextVision. Immediately after having left ContextVision, SCP started its business that directly competes with ContextVision.

In September 2006, SCP filed a patent application, which identified two of ContextVision’s former employees as inventors.

In 2008, ContextVision initiated legal proceedings against SCP at the Stockholm District Court requesting a declaratory judgment to the effect that ContextVision is the owner of the patent application.
