Standard employment agreements stipulate that the employing company owns all inventions and discoveries produced during the period of employment.
California code section 2870 exempts inventions produced outside of work and without use of company facilities by California employees:
2870. (a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer's equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information...
Do the legal codes of any other states include a similar provision?
