Creating products and inventing during employment and assignment of inventions
<p>(I need to ask this question again since I did not have enough information last time. Now I have access to full set of documents I signed including: NDA, Assignment of inventions etc....)</p>

<p>If I create a product-idea outside of reasonable office hours using my own resources (Money, computer, code-base etc...) will assignment of inventions I signed with my employer prevent me from claiming full rights to my invention?</p>

<p>I also want to make sure that I can use this code-base later to productionize my invention and sell it to enterprise customers later when I leave my current employer.</p>

<p>If it helps the following section applies and is mentioned in my agreement:
CALIFORNIA LABOR CODE SECTION 2870 </p>

<p>However I have to mention that I work from GA</p>

<p>How will my "Assignment of Inventions Agreement" harm me? I am happy to provide more details on request...</p>

<p>If what you do falls within the scope of the assignment clause and that clause is reasonably necessary to protect the employer’s interests (i.e. it is limited in scope) then they will own the IP.</p>

<p>For example, if your employer is an accounting firm and what you produce is accounting software they will own it. If what you produce is a game or an operating system for a Mars rover, they won’t. If what you produce is a pricing model for financial derivatives, it could go either way.</p>
