FT offer terms - CPRA Agreement
Just received a FT offer and wanted to check with all of you here whether my confidentiality agreement term is standard or is it unreasonable, namely:
You acknowledge that all original works of authorship which are made by you (solely or jointly with others) during the course of your association with us and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act and any successor statutes. Inventions assigned to us or as directed by us under this Agreement are referred to as “Company Inventions.”
I have consulted it with the attorney in my family and friends in the industry and they all said that they never seen such phrased term. The Company defines association as the term during and before my FT work.
Let me know if this is standard or if you have recommendation on the wording that would allow me to work on my business endeavors during senior year without risking it.
The language you posted looks totally standard. Can you post the definition of "association" as that seems to be the issue here.
Do you have some side business that you are intending to file for copyright protection on? This clause covers patents/inventions. Unless you are planning to file patents you should be fine.
But otherwise this is standard enough wording. Too many inventors using company resources to make things and then claiming it as their own. I think the "before" clause is just to cover people saying "well I had the idea before I started and just now filed for copyright protection".
