: : Thanks very much for the reply. : : You are right about the hard tasks ahead. : : However, its important to understand my legal position; if anytime my employer become interested in this matter. Its quite likely that he will resent, if he realizes it as a missed opportunity. : : I have a written employment contract, which requires me "to fulfill my assigned duties, and report to my employer of any new finding or invention". I feel me justified in this matter, because he changed my assignment after reporting of the results. (The assigning of duties has always been informal) : : Please advise, whether or not my position is defendable (if this matter comes to it). : Dear Xang, : I'm supported by the fees I earn from clients to have the time to answer questions here. : To advise you would be a matter going over in detail what the law and facts are and then to plan a strategy. This cost me time and professional responsibility. : M.
