Does Your Employee Agreement Address These Three Often-Overlooked IP Provisions?
One area of an employee agreement that can be over-looked, or perhaps misunderstood, is intellectual property, according to a post by John E. Munro on the website of Harness, Dickey & Pierce.

In the post, Munro discusses three provisions of an employee agreement that may be missing or could use a tune-up.
These are: the present invention assignment clause, the invention assignment carve-out, and a whistleblower provision.
