What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? VA
I have tried searching and found nothing on this so far. It could be because I do not know the jargon that would bring up similar cases.
I built a website to help a program I work with at my job. I wasn't asked to build it, I just did it as an asset to my work program at my own expense, on my own time, on my personal computer, at home, and of my own initiative. I am a salaried employee leaving the company soon. When I leave the company, do I have to hand over my code and domain name because it was used for a company program? The company doesn't want to use it, they just don't want me to have it. There is nothing sensitive in it, they just feel it is tied to the company. Or, because I own the domain and the server space, is it my domain to keep?
