Some employers do lay claim to all IP. I guess restricting it to inventions is an attempt to seem reasonable. Not successfully though.

- davismwfl 7y agoThis is what I think has happened, some employers do ask for all IP still. But others use the term inventions to make it seem like they aren't as over reaching. But generally I have seen that they do define "invention" in the document to basically include all IP still. This is one that drives me insane, and I just won't touch a company that is doing this as it is unreasonable and so evil to me. But sadly a lot of startup legal firms put this in their standard IP documents for employees to sign and if you don't catch it you can be screwed.
