For this to have any effect, your $DAYJOB has to decide to sue you, go to court, win a judgement, then they get... nothing. You don't have any assets for them to take. You're a poor peon worker. Your $DAYJOB is full of people who see your work as near worthless, and it IS worthless without you to breath life into it. In a corporate bureaucracy it is taboo to even suggest that individuals produce the value. It's the bureaucracy that produces the value, not the cogs. It's essentially not possible to convince the company that your IP unrelated to your specific job is something the company wants. Assuming this scenarios ever played out in the history of IP and your dayjob is actively suing you to get their greedy hands on your awesome IP, this is gold for you. Your stuff is in extremely high demand. Throw it away, and go out and get version 2.0 funded.
