What we want to protect
Apps, games, writing, open source, and businesses made outside your job, on your own time and equipment.
Your work outside work
Your employer should own the work it pays you to do. You should own the apps, tools, and businesses you build on your own time. We're working to make that the law.
Your own tools. No company secrets.
Some employer policies restrict personal apps, paid tools, or open-source work, even when they are unrelated to the job.
We want clear rules so people can publish their own work without risking their job.
Apps, games, writing, open source, and businesses made outside your job, on your own time and equipment.
Company secrets, code, customer data, paid work time, and work assigned by your employer. You cannot speak for the company.
I support clearer legal protection for work created outside the job.
Personal projects should belong to the person who makes them.
Employers should name a specific conflict, in writing.
Sell your work and take credit under your own name.
No punishment for building a protected personal project.
