> No way. Employer is not entitled to all java code just because he paid me to java certification. Employer to all my products forever just because he paid my college or whatever. Your understanding of "specific area" is quite broad. I thought more along the lines "his employer paid him to do research and development for CI-Systems", so he should not in his spare time build a competing CI-System. > I am paid for work done for employer. I'm not own by him. Where did I say so? You're certainly not owned by your employer, you're not a slave. But you can't go and build the same thing at home and give it away for free as you're building at work and get paid for. Even for a construction guy that would be a problem. Undercutting your employer with knowledge gained at work? Do you think any employer would be fine with that?
