From what I have seen, a lot of companies have very restrictive IP clauses in employment contracts (at least here in IE). The first draft of my current contract wanted a claim to all creative work produced, at all hours, on any equipment, in any medium. (e.g. the copyright on a photo I took on holiday would technically have been owned by my employer.) They also wanted me to give up all "moral rights" which meant I could not say I created anything I did while being employed, and more worryingly, I could not say I didn't create something that the company said I did. That clause got removed pretty damn quickly.
