Work product is something created by an employee that is considered to become the property of the employer -- for instance, a design, patentable process, recipe, etc. -- given certain conditions. It becomes trickier when the employment relationship is one of contractor-client. An independent contractor has different work product rules from an employee.

Famous quotes containing the words work and/or product:
“Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“The product of mental labor—science—always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
