Re: software ownership by office

Can you be more specific? Are you working in the Indian Navy? Is the computer at home provided to you by the Indian Navy? Did you develop the software as part of an office project as you have used it in the office or unrelated to any office project? Specifically are you assigned to develop this type of software in the office?

I will need the answers to these questions before I can respond to you.

Thank you,

N. Ramaswami
