: : Before I started at my current job, i had a software company. There I developed a series of spreadsheet models to provide analytics for investment portfolio managers. After deciding not to continue my software company, I went to a wall street firm. I brought my software with me and did not charge them anything additional, other than my salary. Some minor improvements were made. : : i am preparing to leave the company and would like to have them either stop using the software, or pay me for its use. : : there were no legal transfers of rights during my tenure here. Do they have any rights to my software? : Dear Mr. Goldstein, : Probably not. What have you done to protect the software? : M.
