This is a paid internship, right? I would be wary. The law already protects them if you use their IP. This is just bad, controlling company culture. Please na

This is a paid internship, right? I would be wary. The law already protects them if you use their IP. This is just bad, controlling company culture. Please name and shame, if the company is that big they have sent a lot of these contracts out. This isn't a noncompete, which would almost certainly not hold up, it's a shitty sentence designed to make you think it's a noncompete. The reason a noncompete wouldn't work is that they aren't giving you anything in return. Your wages are paid for the work you put in, if they want a noncompete they will have to provide valuable consideration for it (a payment when you leave, stock, etc) and in many states there are significant limits to how much they can limit you.
