What is the name of your state? Ohio. Company is in new York. Contract is governed by Texas law? <--Don't know why.
Here is the part of the contract I am inquiring about.
(Bolding Mine)
I would be the Contractor in this case.
Can they actually say that any and all inventions or idea you had prior to starting with them would now be considered theirs for an infinite term?
I understand ideas conceived while working with them. But beforehand?
That seems a little ridiculous.
the full text of the contract can be found here.

This license is non-exclusive, and may be assigned without the Contractor's prior written approval by the Company to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
