Before I signed, I was presented with a contract with one of those "you and all of your thoughts are our property" clauses. Those never hold up in court where I live, but I still had it changed to only include any work done during work hours and work that conflicts with the interests of the company. I don't have to report hobby projects that fall outside of that. If I'd want to start monetizing a side project, I do have to report it, but as long as there's no conflict of interest they're fine with it.
