I once had a client present me with an NDA which stated that their Intellectual Property included "all knowhow related to the project", and then a few paragraphs later that they had "the right to seize all Intellectual Property" upon termination of the contract.
When I asked if they intended this to include brain surgery, they agreed to amend it to only seizing documents.
- mgkimsal 12y agoI really really really don't think most clients want all my intellectual property. Even I don't want it all...
- GrinningFool 12y agoIt seems like the needed change there was not to alter the scope of what they would seize, but the scope of their definition of Intellectual Property. It's a little unclear from your post - is that what you got modified?
- cperciva 12y agoTheir definition of "Intellectual Property" didn't change, but it didn't matter given the ways in which the term was used.
