> This is usually when you're on company time with company assets. If you're at home/coffee shop and off the clock and on your assets/pc its your IP… what you're saying does not sound right/legal from my perspective. Employers need to know what their assets are, what they own. It greatly simplifies things for them if you have a contract that assigns them ownership of any invention you come up with while you’re their employee. This is especially true in early stage companies, where the business model might be evolving, and employees are working all hours from all over the place. Contracts like this are very common. The best approach in this situation is to use your own computer and network to develop the core ideas for your business, but delay any formal business activities until you’ve left your job.
