JavaRhino··on My employer asked me to sign this "Invention Assignment" doc, should I?
That is at the top of my list. I'm not sure what off duty hours actually means, since I don't have formally defined duty hours.

I am relieved to note there's no language in there assigning them intellectual property rights over anything I dream about at night.

> I wouldn't sign this unless I had equity.

Great point. Do vesting options count here, or are you talking real equity?

Thanks, I'm in New York. I assume that if state law restricts the assignment, I can't legally sign away those rights by signing this document.

I get that it's only supposed to be used if there is a "problem" but I have some concerns about it, not limited to the fact that most of the code we right is GPL'd or touched by GPL. I'm being told this is necessary for a diligence audit (we're a startup working on a funding round.) Could really use some feedback on this document as it's completely outside my knowledge domain.
