: : I wrote a program to generate reports form various data sources. When I came to work with my current employer, I modified the code to create a more flexible program and graphic interface. Do I still have rights to claim copyright as the current program is based on an earlier version I wrote? : Dear Mr. Pendleton, : You have a right to what you have created. If that right is assigned, the owner has that right. If you modify what you have done and the right is not assigned then you own what you have created. : Now if you have assigned the original and not the new version you may have trouble with the new version using that part which is not yours. : I take no professional responsibility for my opinion. : M.
