In case I couldn't make it clear so far, I defend that either of the following conditions should hold for employer to claim rights: (a) IP is developed using company resources (time, equipment, etc.) or (b) IP is within the scope of company's business.
> your employer is paying you for the ideas you generate, and this could happen at home.
If employer's idea is about company's business, then yes, I would say that the company owns the rights. If not, employer owns the rights.
I'm not sure if ideas count as IP though. If I had an idea at work about a business that is outside the scope of my company's, to whom the rights belong?
