I think that you will find that the court will take the point of
view that they are talking about thier own IP. And I think you will
find there is case law that supports this, so this interpretation
is likely to be the one that the courts use.

None of these contracts cause you to forfeit your own IP. Only
laying claim to their own IP.

Probably not hard. It is only a question of what other agreements
