Legal Question in Technology Law in Ohio
Web Development Portfolio Rights
I work with a web development firm as a telecommuting contractor. Do I have rights to display web sites I have worked on with them for my personal online portfolio, displaying images of the sites, and what my role in the development of it was?

Re: Web Development Portfolio Rights
It depends on the agreement that you have with them. In general, if the work was a work-for-hire, it belongs to your employer. However, as an independent contractor you own the copyright to the work you create.
Thus, without knowing the agreement that you have with the employer, I cannot comment further.
Good luck!
