The fun part is that you could probably sue to enforce item 1. I wish I'd thought of it, years ago.

Yeah that's all standard crap they put in every contract. Almost all of it is completely unenforceable.

Yeah, what Eddy said -- usually it's only if using company resources, on company property, on company time.
Where I am now, after one of our contractors left we discovered that he had been using his company laptop to develop a website for another client -- it's ours now.

I know a case when a contact had a part that was not enforceable (IMHO yours too) and the court dismissed all the contract because of it.
But! I think you should not sign something that you do not mean to keep! So better go and settle it or move on!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Any contract perused by any competent legal eagle will include a clause stating that any clause found not to be enforceable or not legal will be treated as being removed from the contract, allowing the remainder of the contract to stand.

If there's any way to "see" this episode, do. Self-explanatory.
"The Unit" (action drama TV show aired 2007 February 6th)
"Sub-Conscious" (episode 27 of 70 ...)
Or you might pick up:
Martin Heideggar's "Being and Time" ... a little light reading for your next vacation.

One of my friends had a contract like that, and he created an open source project that the company tried to take, as it was successful. The courts disagreed, and the CEO of the company, who didn't know about that clause (and was extremely against such things, and was also very tech savy) quickly fired a number of people who were behind that, as it violated company policy.
This was some time ago (I can't remember the company name to save my life) but I later met the CEO, and found him to be quite nice. He had a number of code style rules, all of which lead to some very maintainable code. The company also has a number of open source utility libraries, all of which are fully documented with numerous examples. Most were in C/C++, so I didn't use them, but I did look at them.
If I find (and remember) the company name I will post a link. Don't bet on it though. My memory is like RAM, it gets cleared a lot. (grumbles about that issue...)

From a response on SO
Quote: and pointed out to the owners of the company that by claiming ownership of anything i did on my own time, they would also bear responsibility for anything that i did on my own time. So if one of my hobby experiment virus programs ever happened to accidentally escape into the wild...they would be responsible.

Please accept my sympathies for any dental distress you may be going through.
However, be sure and use that line about how your mouth feels with your wife in case anything ... uhhh ... comprising, like lipstick on your shirt in a color your wife never uses, comes up.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
