Ip Question
I have been working for a company and in my contract it states:
Duties: ● Provide counseling services, including charting, email communication with clients. ● Provide 35 hours of clinical availability per week, plus 5 hours for administrative and professional development and projects, marketing, content creation and client communication.
However, my patient load has been lower than anticipated and I have spent more time creating assigned projects than the 5 hrs outlined above. furthermore upon hire I never signed an intellectual property agreement. Now I have been assigned a massive project and have concerns. I did some digging and it appears I may still have ownership of the projects I have done and this current big one since I never signed the intellectual property agreement. When I completed a project in the past I am basically expected to hand it over so they can slap a copyright symbol on it without acknowledgment. This has gotten to the point that it feels wrong/I am being taken advantage of. They will text/email additional items to add to this project (making it even bigger and more stressful) when they do not have time to research them. Do I have any legal right to the IP I have created?
Other helpful info: -using Google doc for creation -resources all coming from my own personal library/free online sources (none provided by business) -all on my personal property (computer)
