I think its a combination of mistakes both in the way the company handled it and a bad contract. Whether work is "Work For Hire" or not should be in any contract with someone creating code or designs. I personally wouldn't hire someone without stipulating that all code and or designs (this comes up with getting source PSDs a lot) is WFH.
