I once worked for an excellent company, Southwest Research Institute, in the USA. As part of my employment agreement, I had to sign a paper saying ANY patent I was granted belonged to the company. It didn't matter if it was on my own time or not anything the company was doing. "Any" was the operative word.

It's not unique to Australia and yes, they make
you sign a piece of paper to say anything you
do between 9am and 5pm belongs to the company...
Not just Oracle, BTW. Everyone does that. I wonder
what that would do to those who claim
one consulting gig = one book...
Oh, while I'm here: did anyone suggest Howard
had been sacked? I don't recall seeing that
said anywhere here. There was a troll suggesting
that in c.d.o.s., but that was just that: a troll.
