German term

Erfahrungserfindung

German to English Law/Patents Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright Employee inventions
This is the actual text I am translating:

"Eine Diensterfindung liegt nach § 4 Abs. 2 ArbEG vor, wenn die Erfindung „aus der dem Arbeitnehmer im Betrieb … obliegenden Tätigkeit entstanden ist“ (sog. Obliegenheitserfindung), oder wenn sie „maßgeblich auf Erfahrungen oder Arbeiten des Betriebes … beruht“ (sog. Erfahrungserfindung)."

I found another definition on the internet:
"Diensterfindungen sind immer dann gegeben, wenn sie im Rahmen des Arbeitsverhältnisses entstehen und entweder Teil der Tätigkeit (Obliegenheitserfindung) sind oder aufgrund der während der Tätigkeit gewonnenen Erfahrungen und Kenntnisse (Erfahrungserfindungen) entwickelt wurden"

I understand what this means, and I have seen it translated as "experience invention" or "experienced-based invention" The problem is that when I do the reverse and google these terms I do not get many hits and I was wondering there are any UK or US equivalent terms or if this something only related to Germany. German employee invention laws differ from the rest of Europe and the US.

Many thanks in advance

service invention based on company experience

Same comment as for the Obliegenheitserfindung...

"The service inventions are defined as inventions made during the course of the employment contract and that meet one of the following two (2) conditions: - They are the result of the activity of the employee in the company; - They are mainly based on company’s experience or business."
