    Default Re: Ip Clause in Employment Contract

    I am about to sign a contract of employment with a Uk company based in my own country.
    What does "my own country" mean? Does the contract say that it is governed by a particular jurisdiction's laws (since the employer is a UK company, it probably says it's governed by UK law)?

    If you, either alone or in conjunction with any other person create, invent, devise, develop or originate any design (whether registrable or not), work or other Intellectual Property in which any Intellectual Property Right may subsist, you shall immediately disclose the same to the company.
    When capitalized terms appear in contracts, they are typically defined somewhere in the contract. Is the term "Intellectual Property Right" defined in the contract? If so, what is the definition?

    Thank you for all the replies.

    My country is in Malaysia, and this company is a UK company with a branch office in Malaysia.
    I believe the contract is within jurisdiction of Malaysian laws, not UK laws.

    Well, in any case, as long as I don't declare or publish any original IP works during my employment period I guess I should be fine, right?

    Anyway, thanks again for all the help.

    No one here knows anything about Malaysian law, or even UK laws. This is a US board and deals with US laws. Malaysian law is not the same.
