Intellectual Property Assistance
-
Hi Guys,
anyone in here know much about intellectual property law.
ive been given a docment from my current place of work and it seems to include anything i work on in my free time out of hours
-
@Lexicon hmm it might be different from country to country. And also need to read contract with work. I would of thought what done on my free time is mine and mine alone.
-
Moved to Off Topic.
I guess it depends highly on the country you are living in. It sounds for me that this part of your contract is not valid. It would mean that everything you work on in your free time - like your girlfriend - is property of your company. ;-)
Edit: Your company just want to make sure that all the projects that you take home and work in after hours are still in their possession.
-
@Lexicon Get proper legal advice, its the only way to be sure.
-
well funny because i spent 30 mins reading the document in work time and they told me to stop and that they will look at getting the restrictive clauses removed.
the only time procrastination has payed off :D

procrastination is a friend of coders :D we just code whatever to be able to procrastinate a bit more :D

lol, I should go pickup and pay those drives I ordered when they had an wrong price in their shop system! But I'm procrastinating (?) the moment when they will tell me it was a fault and I'll have to pay 255$ instead of 89$!
I know! I'm bad.......
-
@nixxda it's their fault for not checking their prices. But then, it's your fault for being a procrastinator and just picked it up. xD
-
@jervis 30min drive and then possibly 1020$ instead of 356$ for four drives! I dont know.... I'm lazy...
But writing that made my realize I shouldn't procrastinate that any longer!-) Can still tell them to shove them....
-
@nixxda yeah, it's always better to say that in their blank faces personally. It's priceless. :)
