Let’s look at how the CIA is incentivizing tech employees, since they can’t compete with private sector salaries.
The CIA created CIA Labs that will allow:
- CIA employees to publicly file patents on the intellectual property
- CIA employees for the 1st time would be able to collect a portion of the the profits & the CIA gets the remainder of the profits
- The cap for the employee: 15% of the total income from the new invention with a cap of $150,000 per year.
