Ajinomoto Co.

Ajinomoto Co. agreed to pay Masayorhi Naruse about $1.5 million for inventing an artificial sweetener. Masayorhi Naruse was the former chief of the company's research division and sued the company for compensation related to his discovery of Aspartame in 1982. One of Naruse's lawyers said, "This is a major step forward, as it raises the possibility that engineers employed by companies will receive large financial rewards for their inventions."
