: Hello,

: I work in an academic environment as the principal
: software developer on a noncommercial product. This
: product has a good deal of commercial potential and
: may in fact become commercial at some point. I am
: thinking of leaving my job to start my own company
: producing what would essentially extend this product,
: but starting from scratch and not using any of the
: same code.

: Are there any legal problems associated with this?
: Would my current employer have any rights to the
: product that I created after I left?

: Bill

Dear Bill,
#1 Maybe.
#2 Maybe.
