- BurningFrog 7y agoThis is an individual prize unrelated to "intellectual property".
- ajross 7y agoIt's certainly not impossible that you could have an employment contract where the employee agrees to assign rights to stuff like prize money to the employer. I'd be shocked beyond belief if such a contract existed here though.
