If a company wants what you create by reason of your employment, it can only mena that they want your children, if any. (I suggest you annotate it, "I don't understand any of this", and sign it). cbosgd!ccf BTL Columbus

It is my understanding that it is very difficult to inforce these employer rights agreements. A related legal issue is that of leaving one employer to work for a competitor. The inforcement of this law varies from state to state. Althought California has laws which theoretically support the employer for "intellectual property rights" and going to work for a competitor, California Courts have leaned toward the individual in both types of cases. It seems there are ethical/moral issues here which run deeper than the contemporary whim of the Courts, but perhaps that discussion should be in net.jobs/net.philo. Patricia Collins hplabs
