If your work is done as an employee, the boss usually owns the IP, unless
specifically covered in your employment contract. If your work is done as a
contractor, you should have a contract in place, and that should address this
question. In the absence of a contract you have to argue it out and the winner
is the one who can afford a better lawyer.
