Of course if you don't sign one, then I think the law is on your side. For extra protection, don't create "your own" intellectual property on your employers time or with your employer's equipment.
If you want extra protection, you can copyright your code and stuff. If you ever end up in court and your previous employer is saying "I should own the rights to this" and you have a copyright form and they have nothing.... I'm sure it'll go in your favor.
