A Kettle of Fish - Requests

Well the information I got was geared towards technical IPR like inventions and software and therefore mostly about patents but as I understand it provided you state somewhere that the work is yours and can prove it then the rights are yours unless you sign them away.
This doesn't stop someone viewing what you've done and being 'inspired' by it.

What you're describing sounds like it's about exclusivity to your work, but it should be clear in whatever you've signed what you can and can't do.

Everything that I do is dated and referenced and carries a legal copyright disclaimer as standard. This is mandated in the company operational framework.

Don't know if that helps at all.
