Le v. City of Wilmington, 480 Fed.Appx. 678 (Third Circuit,
April 24, 2012)(unpublished). Disgruntled
computer programmer working for City of Wilmington registers computer program
designed to process traffic tickets with the Copyright Office. Then leaves the office after removing the
program’s source code from the computer.
Then sues for discrimination after being terminated. Third Circuit affirms the district court’s
finding that the computer program was a work-for-hire. It was created as part of the employee’s
duties, it used source code from other Wilmington-owned software and used other
Wilmington resources in its creation and testing.
