Legal Question
Does my company own my initial idea for a web application, along with the softw
The CIO/CTO said that what I had created was good enough, and only wants to use it internally. He does not want to fund further development. I believe that there is a signficant commercial opportunity. I Would like the freedom to take my idea and see if I can build a better version of the same web application. I would leave all documentation and software code at the company. They have not protected the idea with a copyright. Even if it was protected, the new data base structure would be different. Should I ask the corp. attorney's for a letter stating that I can develop this idea further? Or should I hire external legal counsel ? Have decided to quit the company on June 30 so that I can develop the idea further. So your quick response would be appreciated.
