California IP and non-compete law

As a follow-up to the last post about non-competes, I thought I'd repost links to the relevant California codes on intellectual-property and non-compete agreements:

• California Labor Code 2870-2872 on intellectual-property agreements
• California Business and Professions Code 16600-16607 on non-compete agreements

Anyone in the tech field in California should be familiar with these, because tech companies routinely put terms in their employment agreements that exceed what these laws allow. I made sure, when I signed my intellectual-property agreement, to add a notation referencing the limitations in 2870-2872 and making my acceptance limited to only what was allowed by those sections of the law.
