    Of course, in business, items developed on company time and equipment are
    normally considered the property of the employer. In fact, when I joined
    Checkpoint, which has extensive R&D efforts, I signed a paper to that effect.

    Perhaps this is one area where the "corporate cultures" of business and
    academia are at opposite poles.
