	Just for information the California Labour Code Section 2870 reads as
follows

	Article 3.5 Inventions Made by an Employee


2780. Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee
shall assign or  offer to assign any of his other rights in an invention to
his or her employer shall not apply to an invention for which no equipment,
supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the employer was used and 
which was developed entirely on the employee's own time, and (a) which does not
relate (1) to the  business of the employer or (2) the the employer's actual 
or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) which does not result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. Any provision
which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the
public policy of this state and to that extent unenforcable.


	(Copied from my own employment agreement)


	Hopefully other states have similar statutes
