It all depends upon the specific wording of one's contract with one's employer. Corporate culture provides only a rough guidelines. In the contracts I've seen, the scope has ranged from: * only the same type of work, using the same type of tools, as used for the job; through * all content, theories, and inventions created by the individual, regardless of the position with the company, or anything else; By way of example, the first company doesn't care if an advertising rep writes computer software in their time away from work. They will care, if the individual creates an advertising/marketing plan for another organisation. Likewise, they won't care if a staff programmer creates a marketing campaign for a third party in their free time, but they will care if that programmer starts writing code for third parties. The second company will come down as hard on a janitor who creates an advertising/marketing plan in their free time, as they will on a programming writing code for another party in their free time, as they will on a receptionist who writes books in their spare time. jonathon
