Yup, but if you don't you need to understand how bad your state is fucking you by seeing how good we have it in California.

  Something like this might be a deterrent for a company that would otherwise be interested in suing, but it's not going to stop a determined foe from really messing up your life. You'll win ... if you have the cash to fight them (which you don't, unless you're making enough money that a lawsuit is a total non-issue). In practice, you'll settle to stop the legal expenses, and they'll get at least a chunk of your project. When you're successful you have to expect that some people you knew before you found success will get salty and think that you owe it all to them. A few of these people may be inclined to file a lawsuit, including your former employers. They see a pie and want to claim a piece of it.

  On the other hand, in Texas my quite nice house cost less than $300,000, my state government is totally solvent, and very little is on fire or running out of water. Your standard contracts may be better, but California certainly has its share of drawbacks. And did you know there's a Fry's and an In-N-Out burger within ten miles of my house?

    Your comment made my day. The struggle's real and I've been appreciating all Texas has to offer.

    Well now that Fry's and In-N-Out are there... maybe I'll move. Seriously though, the state of contract law regarding this stuff in most states is purely predatory for large companies and hurts innovation.
