Enter corporate  strategy. Corporates arrange their  affairs such that
the principal owns all `intellectual property'.  Therefore, the German
subsidiary is most  probably doing only marketing work;  and rights in
works  developed  by the  subsidiary,  if any,  will  vest  in the  US
parent.  That is a  matter of  contractual corporate  arrangement; not
law. So, rights would still vest in the US parent.

Yes.

Definitely yes. From time immemorial.

<More Grin> Only that this kind of problem is a bit off topic for this
list; but relevant for most members.

And do go through Rick's post in this thread.
