If so, as I imagine Justin would be able to confirm, the default position under English law is that if IP is created by an employee in the course of his/her employment, that IP will automatically be owned by the employer.
Same in Scotland, too. I recall an episode of Still Game where a case rested on whether Pete the Jakey had created the recipe for the Beefy Bake in company time or in his own kitchen at home.
Congrats on reaching 10,000 Paul.... I was struggling for an April Fool's prank this year and contemplated rounding up a small gang of thankers to unthank you on Monday - maybe lower your score back to 9,500 - to fool you into reporting that latest thanks glitch to Aweb. But I'm not sure SIFT would take any notice!!
I have no idea of total yield from this cohort.Could be £50 mill ?Apparently one quarter of pensioners in the UK are millionaires.I was staggered by this statistic.Was it Labour expounding the possibility of a property growth tax;or was it Mr Hunt ?
A quarter? If that's true, they'll all be home owners in London.
HMRC aren't very good at communicating. There was a massive advertising campaign for HICBC and still there are constant complaints that "nobody ever told us".
I dunno - on the one hand, tax is being lost, on the other, probably not a lot. Is it worth collecting?

As I said, London home owners.

Yeah - I'd no idea.
Yes.
Well done, Paul.
Far more deserving of this milestone than myself.
Do they have to process it ?
They have the information - is that not enough ? If not, why are they being sent the information ?
