Not in the software industry.  ANYTHING one creates while working for
a software company, wether it is paid work or if it is 'on ones own time',
is accessable to the company.  Both parties have a non-exclusive copyright
to the data, and both are free to develope it further or market it.
Code that one creates specificly relating to ones job falls under different
laws.
