Legal Question in Administrative Law in Florida

I think you should be able to write the book and have rights to it. A couple of caveats: If you created the techniques in the scope of your employment and at the request of the employer, the employer may have rights to the techniques themselves, that is, if there are intellectual property rights in the techniques themselves (such as a patentable method). Once you write down the techniques, there are copyrights to the written expression. Many employers will have you sign an agreement to this effect, but even if there is not an agreement, the employer may own anything you create in the scope of your employment if it is part of your job (it's harder to prove without an agreement).
