Bingo- has there actually been a recorded case of this happening to someone who’s working on an unrelated project? Obviously if you copy your employers product or do something very similar it’s suspect, but if you work for a defense contractor and build a social network for cats in your spare time, they’re not going to care

Are there recorded cases of this happening where the employee won? I've heard of those 'used a company laptop to work on the project so the employer is out for you' cases, but never read much in detail.
