Disclaimer: IANAL. California code 2870 states that any invenvtion created
without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade
secret information and unless the invention was conceived for the existing
business or research and development, or it resulted from work that the
employee did for the employer that you own it, period. That right cannot
be signed away.(illegal provisions of contracts are unenforceable.)
Consult your attorney, yadda yadda.
