From where you got this idea ? The scientists and engineers are employed
to
design a product. The company will have the full right to use this
designs.

But without exclusive use of the designs, the firm won't make enough profits
to justify paying the inventors' wages.It would be more profitable to wait
until someone else invented a new product and then copy them.

However, if during this work a invention,innovation,genial idea pops up
this
is the creation of the inventor and it must be his or her own property.
Assuming exclusive ownership of somebody else creation is just plain
looting.


It's not looting. Patents only become the property of companies because the
inventors agree to that.
