The first part is stock boiler plate, one year after you leave? That is interesting.
Most companies simply don’t care, save for inventions directly in their field. I would think this would typically result in a contract dispute with your new employer, not with you so much. The new employer is going to claim your inventions, file various patents and such, then the old one tries to wave your employment contract around and lay claim to them? It’s interesting, I don’t see it being withheld in many courts though. They’d be on the back foot, at best, if the new company already filed invention paperwork. Was there a signing bonus or something to pay for these future inventions? Or gauanteed future pay when you file them? Maybe I’m wrong, most of these documents arent terribly enforcable as it is.
