Abstract
The court decisions concerning cases requesting monetary compensations for employee invention have been invariably deriving monetary amount, by first decomposing into factors, such as employer's profit and employer's contribution, and then determining their values separately, and finally those factors are multiplied to obtain the amount. The empirical study on court decisions revealed some of those factors are stable and others are not. Court decisions on monetary compensations can be predictable under certain limited conditions in which stable factors are used. For unstable factors, I described issues confining predictability.
