Title: The company I work for (software engineer, advertising industry) was recently acquired by a larger company.<p>The new employment contract stipulates the usual oppressive confidential information and IP assignment things, detailing how the company owns anything I come up with. The state I&#x27;m in specifically protects my rights to things I create entirely independently (outside company time and equipment) but the contract also has a clause that says I must disclose any existing inventions or ideas to the company now and that anything not enumerated belongs to them and that by not listing I am acknowledging that the invention idea was not developed or conceived before the commencement of employment.<p>Assuming I were to sign and return without enumerating any specifics they would own the IP to anything I&#x27;ve done previous to this?<p>I&#x27;d love any advice anyone here has, but perhaps a better question would be-- Are there any &quot;uber for lawyers&quot; services online where I can pay to have someone with bonafides read through this for me?
