Thanks for putting the employers point of view across. Important acquisitions can be sunk because of a failure to adequately cover IP. In that case, sloppy paperwork can mean a very real loss to many people who have worked hard. From that point of view, it's far more important for an employer to cover it well and explain why. It only takes the employment of one single contractor through odesk that wasn't signed up properly to jeopardise an important deal. Employees signing up for that need to understand why this is important.
