Hi there Mark<br><br>There has been a few that I know of but going back quite a long time... Soon after I got my qualifications, a small company called Merlio, not only did the court case get passed in UK courts by it went to the European court too... I wasn't directly involved but I know the EU court upheld the decision of the UK courts. Still there are was little to no enforcement of what they decided!!!<br><br>Any how IP IS the IP of the developer... Proving it and enforcing it is another matter!!<br><br><br><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div>> To: python-list@python.org<br>> From: breamoreboy@yahoo.co.uk<br>> Subject: Re: Open Source: you're doing it wrong - the Pyjamas hijack<br>> Date: Wed, 9 May 2012 23:44:01 +0100<br>> <br>> On 09/05/2012 23:30, Adrian Hunt wrote:<br>> ><br>> > In the UK at least, a developers IP cannot be hijacked by a company contract. If you write some code while working for X, then X has free usage of that IP and may restrict you from using the same IP for company Y, but only for a limited time (ie 5 years)… The IP you came up with is still yours and a contract that claims your IP can (and has been in a court of law) judged to be null and void.<br>> ><br>> <br>> References please, as this is completely opposite to my understanding.<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Cheers.<br>> <br>> Mark Lawrence.<br>> <br>> -- <br>> http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list<br></div> </div></body>
