: Thank you for your response and in follow-up, I am a Canadian citizen, and the work was created in Canada. Legal sources have informed me that as the work was created while under the employ of another, that party is the owner and I only retain 'moral rights' as the author. : In reading the Canadian act (excerpt follows), this seems to be correct. : "Who owns the copyright? : Generally, the owner of the copyright is: : a) the creator of the work; : b) the employer, if the work was created in the course of employment unless there is an agreement to the contrary; " : In reading the Canadian act, this seems to be correct. My concern is that the company does not consider me to be an 'employee', I do not receive 'employee benefits', nor am I socially perceived as an employee since I was hired under verbal terms as a "temp" to perform administrative overload and only came to develop intellectual properties due to my skills and knowledge.
