The assignment is not time limited. However, unfortunately just because it is outside of the scope of the work at STM does not mean that STM do not "own" it. Many employment contracts in our industry say that all work performed, and intellectual property (IP) created, by an employee is owned by the employer. Alternatively some employment contracts say that all work and IP created using the employer's equipment (including your development PC) is owned by the employer. This means if you entirely created and developed it on your home PC, then that would be fine. So the question is, what does your employment contract say? I would expect all employment contracts to say something somewhere about the ownership of IP you create. And if it says nothing then we may have to assume it _might_ be covered. Of course if, as you say, it is not related to STM and STM have no interest, then at least it shouldn't be difficult to obtain the copyright disclaimer again, as a precaution.
