Copyright Ownership[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ Copyright Forum ] [ FAQ ] Posted by D.D. on November 28, 2000 at 17:29:01: My query is regarding ownership as the author of a work that consists of original content, original art, interpretive compilation of publicly available works, and modified public graphical images. This work was developed while a 'temporary' employee under no written employment The employer requested the development of the work be done in co-operation with other employees, during normal work hours, and using the employer’s technical resources. Verbal agreement at start of the work was that by performing the work, I would be provided gainful full time employment with a raise in salary. At completion of the work, the employer is not honoring the offer of full time employment, claims copyright ownership, and wants to market the work for profit. The work was actually developed with limited assistance from other employees and limited technical resources: As my 'temporary' employment is soon to end, and the promise of financial raise and full time employee status is no longer offered, do I have the right to take the 'work' with me under copyright protection?
