Why I Don't Sign Non-Competes
So recently I came across an Invention Disclosure agreement that a company wanted me to sign.  The phrasing of this kind of threw me off:"I will promptly communicate to the Company each and every invention, discovery or item of intellectual property made or conceived by me, either as an individual or jointly with others, during my period of employment, and I agree that any such invention, discovery or item of intellectual property which I may disclose to anyone within one (1) year after the termination of my employment shall be presumed to have been made during my period of employment hereunder and shall become the sole property of the Company."At first glance it looks like a typical "I assign everything I invent while employed" deal, but the 1 year post-employment clause sure looks like a non-complete to me.What do you think?
