Your employer will have its internal lawyers call you to explain to you that your employment contract says that you have to assign them the patent, and that they're giving you $1,000 honorarium for this, and if you do not accept this then they will file your name anyway as "assignment by an uncooperative inventor." Not sure if you can blame someone for caving. Who wants to be called an "uncooperative inventor" by their employer?
