DDB is specifically limited to patents not copyright which is what we are discussing here.
DSC Communications Corp. v. Evan Brown is more relevant, and highlights while I will never live in Texas.... But I should have also said that most of these employment contracts are governed by State law, not Federal law so the amount of bullshit the companies are allowed to get away with is highly varies from state to state. Texas is the worse when it comes to employee protections. DSC would have been laughed out of court here.
Medsphere v. Shreeve was settled out of court so has no bearing on this discussion.
