Invention Assignment. Executive (i) will promptly disclose all Inventions (as defined below), in full detail, to persons authorized by the Company, and (ii) will not disclose any Invention to anyone other than persons authorized by the Company or by law, without the Company’s express prior written instruction to do so. All Inventions will be deemed “work made for hire” as that term is used in the U.S. Copyright Act and belong solely to the Company from conception. Executive hereby expressly disclaims all interest in all Inventions. To the extent that title to any Invention or any materials comprising or including any Invention is found not be a “work made for hire” as a matter of law, Executive hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company all of Executive’s right, title, and interest to that Invention. At any time during or after the Term that the Company requests, Executive will sign whatever written documents of assignment are necessary to formally evidence Executive’s irrevocable assignment to the Company of any Invention. At all times during or after the Term, Executive will assist the Company in obtaining, perfecting, maintaining and renewing patent, copyright, trademark, and other appropriate protection for any Invention, in the United States and in any other country, at the Company’s expense. In the event that the Company is unable to secure Executive’s signature on any such document, Executive hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and each of its duly authorized officers and agents as Executive’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on Executive’s behalf, to sign and file any such document and to do all other lawful acts to further the prosecution, issuance and enforcement of patents, copyrights or other rights or protections with the same force and effect as if Executive had signed such documents. To the extent any copyrights are assigned under this Agreement, Executive hereby irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims Executive may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as “moral rights” with respect to all Inventions and all intellectual property rights therein.
