Agree with point 2 (I'm all about coding all night), but 1 isn't a good idea..
If your IP agreement doesnt already claim ownership over your work inside and outside work, it definitely will at least claim what you do during work hours.
Thats a quick way to lose your job, get blacklisted from other companies, and lose legal ownership over your startup..
- edw519 19y agoAgreed. My solution: don't EVER sign ANY agreement that dictates who owns what you do on your own time. Not sure? Get a lawyer. Still not sure? Take another job. (Aside: didn't Lincoln outlaw this in 1863?)
