NYC is different than the Bay area with respect to moonlighting/IP-ownership issues when you have a full-time job and you do projects. Did you clear this with your employer, were you in a contract that didn't have restrictions, did you hope for the best, etc. ? Thanks for sharing!
- podman 15y agoI had talked it over with both my manager and CEO. I just took a look at my employment agreement and there was an attached Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. In it, it states that the company shall own all right, title and interest in and to all Inventions which arise out of research or other activity conducted by, for or under the direction of the Company, or which are useful with or relate directly or indirectly to any “Company Interest”. While that is somewhat broad, the work I did was neither for nor under the direction of my old company so I'm fairly certain it doesn't fall under that agreement.
