In my note on the Swedish employee agreement, I noted that
it distinguished between inventions which are part of your job
function and those which are part of the employer's business
but distinct from your job function must be reported to the employer,
but you must be compensated at the "going rate."

Mark Horton asks how the going rate is determined.  I would suppose
arbitration (and/or union involvement) in case of a dispute.

I don't know what the union has to say about use of company
time or property.  I signed the agreement about 12 years
ago and don't remember *all* the fine print.
