> Let me explain. My company's employee manual had a clause stating (and I paraphrase here) that any intellectual property (patentable invention, copyrightable materials, etc) created by the employee was owned by the employer. Is that the same manual that starts with the statement: Nothing in here should be construed as a contract?
