Define "directly relevant". Sometimes that is the extent of the clause.
Jury: well its computer software, and your business states right there in the business code classification that your company is a software company, so we say its owned by the business.
So, no, if I invent a new elephant feeder, it'll be pretty clear its not directly relevant to my employer. But since I spend all of my spare time coding, I'd need "directly relevant" spelled out pretty thoroughly.
- squirrel 15y agoThere's a disclosure process; if you're concerned someone might in future define your project as relevant, you submit a description of what you're doing and the company has a limited time to claim the project is indeed relevant - if it doesn't do so, then it gives up the right and the project is yours.
