: I sure that this has already been discussed at least 10 times before, : but : I have to ask again..... : I have thought up a marketable product that is of great interest to my : current employer, I have briefly mentioned it to a supervisor, a day : later I have the complete green light to start development. : I have never signed a intellectual property agreement. However, I fear : that if I use company time / resources to develop this product I will : lose all rights to the device when the time comes to go independent and : take the product with me. I think that I can have a working demo in : less than 30 days, I'm also thinking about delaying the start date until : I can create a complete working demo at home. Perhaps after I have : completed the demo model the aforementioned company would like to lease : / purchase the product directly from me. : So the question is....if I develop the product at work, who owns it? : And if I create the product on my own time, what is the best way to : protect my investment when I present the device to the company? : Thank you for you time. : ieee802_1@hotmail.com
