- nakkiel 14y agoCompany time = company property, even in the Netherlands. In fact I don't know of a single country where it's not the case; even more so when talking about developed countries.

- GFischer 14y agoInteresting. nakkiel would be right if it had been in the U.S. or here in Uruguay. From what I'm reading, that is the case in the Netherlands, the company has the right to the work: http://www.biolegis.com/uploads/tx_articles/Who_owns_IP-olanda.pdf http://www.biolegis.com/uploads/tx_articles/Who_owns_IP-olan... "In principle the person/legal entity that has created the work (such as software), is the owner of the copyrights in that work. However, article 7 of the Copyright Act provides that if the invention is made by an employee, the employer is entitled to the copyrights."
