Title: Hi HN,<p>Everytime I read articles and consume all other content around attemping a startup, I see no consideration for those whom are employed under employement contract to assign both moral rights and intellectual property to their employer. I have read Lean Startup by Eric Ries and consumed a ton of Y combinator content.<p>Under these circumstances, how can one validate the market using a minimal vialable product, for something truly novel? Futhermore, the&#x27;re contractually unable build an MVP as result of assigning their full intellectual property rights for anything loosely related to their job.<p>What can one do under these circumstances, and let&#x27;s face it, its found in the majority of employment contracts within the tech industry?<p>Anyone any thoughts on this? Moreover, I&#x27;m considering leaving a very well paid software developer job to free myself of this obligation, with the intention of building a product to offer real value to both me and others alike.
