LocalTechWire: "When an employee leaves a company, most parties recognize that the employee's desk, chair, computer and other such items belong to and will remain with the company...Unfortunately, the distinction is not always as simple when it comes to the company’s intellectual property assets. These assets may include such things as customer lists, vendor lists, inventions conceived by the employee (including those not yet disclosed to the company), materials written by the employee, company know-how and trade secrets". While I recognise that companies need to protect their intellectual property, I've always wondered how they'd attempt to protect something the employee hasn't disclosed yet...it's a bit disturbing, really...
