Many businesses start out just like you describe. If you did all of your work off the clock and you're not using any intellectual data or proprietary processes you should be in the clear. Keep any concept designs or specifications just in case. I have friends who started their business on the side, left their employer, and then the employers became their customers.

Thanks, I agree with the first posters that you should always consult with an attorney to be 100% sure.

I know many in this community have dealt with the situation and have a story to share.

I am also considering the option of leaving the full time position and becoming a part time consultant to continue my work and eliminate the risk of the company claiming IP on my creation.
