The notification by Jordan to the WTO under article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'Article 20 reads as follows:
One - Subject to the provisions of Paragraph (b) of this Article, where the worker achieves a new invention, the employer shall have no right therein even if that worker achieved the invention during his work provided however that the priority in purchasing such invention shall be given to the employer.
Two - If the nature of the work required by the worker provides that such worker shall designate his/her effort in the invention, the worker shall be entitled to the rights pertaining to the patent that equals no more than 50% therefrom. In determining such rate, the scientific and physical effort of the worker, as well as tools, materials and other facilities provided by the employer shall be taken into account.'
