Richard M. Gilley. v. Southern Research Institute

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the trial court's summary judgment for Southern Research Institute, holding that the institute owed no additional compensation to former employee Richard Gilley for the 2005 Brookwood spin‑off or the 2007 sale of Brookwood stock because neither transaction generated "intellectual property income" under the institute's awards policy and Gilley had not properly pleaded a claim based on the 2005 spin‑off.
