    Default Non-Disclosure Agreement Wording

    Hi all,

    I am hoping to get some opinions on the wording of this NDA that was sent to me for a new position I am considering taking, I have already sent it to my attorney and he feels it is unreasonable, but he also states that Florida law wont consider it unreasonable.

    So Im just looking for your thoughts on the one section we have issues with

    INVENTIONS
    (a)
    “Employee/Applicant” shall promptly, from time to time, fully inform and disclose to the “Company” in writing all inventions, copyrightable material, designs, improvements and discoveries of any kind which “Employee/Applicant” now has made, conceived or developed (including prior to the date of this Agreement), or which “Employee/Applicant” may later make, conceive or develop, during the period of “Employee/Applicant” employment with the “Company”, which pertain to or relate to the “Company” business or any of the work or businesses carried on by the “Company” (“Inventions”). This covenant applies to all such Inventions, whether or not they are eligible for patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other legal protection; and whether or not they are conceived and/or developed by “Employee/Applicant” alone or with others; and whether or not they are conceived and/or developed during regular working hours; and whether or not they are conceived and/or developed at the “Company” facility or not.

    Has anyone notice that more companies are getting extremely aggressive in their NDA wording lately or am I just paranoid?

    Thanks all

    Default Inventions Disclosure

    It sounds like they might have been burned, or are afraid of being burned, by an ex-employee who claims to have come up with a major invention or innovation "on my own time".
