Only if we are working for a Company that's acting like a Medieval Baron.

Though my last job contract I got them to agree that they only had=20
exclusive exploitation rights, I owned all IP and that any IP not=20
deployed in 5 years they would lose exploitation right. Also if anything=20
was exploited with my IP I should get 0.1% of revenue (profits can be=20
made to appear to be zero)

Big companies often want to treat people like serfs. Yes the work is=20
done mostly but not all in their time. Much depends on prior art and=20
experience.

Design is not the same as screwing wheel nuts on. It's unreasonable that=20
the Company should completely own the ideas. It's reasonable that having=20
hired you that they should have exclusive exploitation for a reasonable=20
period but that the creator should get some ongoing royalty as well as=20
the original salary.
