Legal Question
Ownership
A friend developed a teaching tool for the hospital we both worked for. She developed it on her own time & was not reimbursed for materials. When she moved on, she took the tool with her & has been approached to market this idea as it was very original. The head of the department demanded the return of this tool upon realizing it was no longer there. Who owns this tool? Could there be legal ramifications is she does not return it. Also, she is seeking re-employment with this department.
