Ownership and Assignment. Except as defined in this Agreement, all Inventions which the Executive makes, conceives, reduces to practice or develops (in whole or in part, either alone or jointly with others) during his employment will be the sole property of the Employer to the maximum extent permitted by law. The Executive agrees to assign such Inventions and all Rights in them to the Employer.
