Dear all! Again I need an advise... My life is so full of different events and always sends me surprises... In 2011 I submitted a provisional patent- actually, University on my behalf. The University has even given me a small grant to develop this technology. This work was very good, an on April 12 this year we filed a full patent application. There is a company which has expressed much interest in this technology, they agreed to be a potential holders of an exclusive license. But then they changed their mind and started pressing on my University and blackmailing me so that we would withdraw the patent. The Head of the Lab where I do research gave me a condition: either I do what the Company wants (because this Company is his sponsor), or I will lose my job. I have not done anything illegal. I followed every direction of the University Patent Office, and all my claims are original, this Company was making some test samples according to my technology, but they have not done anything new and original. They basically want to get a commercially valuable invention for free. My Lab boss knows that I am going through the naturalization. He demands that I would give up my patent application, otherwise I would not only lose job as a faculty and researcher, but also not get my citizenship, if the Company starts legal actions against the University and me as an inventor. Could they damage my naturalization now, when I have already had my interview? Are they just threatening me to get my invention in their hands?
