Yeah, but parent here states that even if an employee wasn't using any employer's resources, the rights are still belong to the latter. Which is a whole other level of insanity.
On an unrelated note, university owning any work of a student, regardless on how it was done (unless it was explicitly contracted with the uni), is also pretty grim, but this is probably US thing.
- smt88 7y agoUniversity's owning research is a major funding mechanism, and it's how they justify paying graduate researchers. There are limits to how much the university can profit from the IP, and the student researchers still get to profit too.
