When I was perm I only had one employment contract which stated my employer could own my IP. I got that clause removed by pointing to well-known open source projects.Originally posted by vetran View PostAnd his employer owning his IP doesn't cause a problem?
Unless you work for a company that does lots of research and/or files lots of patents lots of employers will either not have it in the contract or will oblige particularly since open sourcing code, pictures and writing had become common."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

the default position as per the reference I gave is that the Employer owns the IP. This does not seem to need a clause in the contract.Originally posted by SueEllen View PostWhen I was perm I only had one employment contract which stated my employer could own my IP.

If you wish for your employer to relinquish that right then you need to negotiate. Which I see you did. The OP could do the same but has chosen not to. In my opinion he should in case the product makes real money and the Employers lawyers sniff a quick buck.Comment
