It is possible find a text on DDG which is very similar:
(a) The Employee has attached hereto, as Exhibit A, a list describing all discoveries, ideas, ... which were created,... by the Employee prior to the Employee’s employment by the Company ..., which relate ... to the ... business of the Company, and which are not assigned to the Company ... or, if no such list is attached, Employee represents that there are no Prior Developments.
I am not a layer, nor even a native speaker, but it looks to me that this company does not want to steal prior ideas or inventions, but wants to protect them from future claims of ownership by an (ex) employee. So the employee has to provide a list of ideas/inventions/etc that (s)he claims as their own.
Indeed I may be entirely wrong.
- dekhn 5y agoThe quoted text you provide is about telling a new employer about past inventions. That's standard at any big company. The text the poster quoted is a transfer of that IP. that is not standard.
