Engineer refusing to file/disclose patents
> His employment agreement states that any and all intellectual property he generates while employed with us, even during weekends/free-time, is the property of the company.<p>If I had such a clause in a contract, I would turn down the opportunity. Maybe I am missing something obvious here, but I don't see the point of this.<p>Even worse, this:<p>> any and all intellectual property<p>sounds to me like one couldn't do anything creative in their spare time. Even a picture painted would belong to their employer.
