You had to hire a lawyer to get out of signing the additional agreement? Why did you sign the additional agreement?

Yes. My old boss was threatening to take me to court. I could not afford the fees, but I wanted a lawyer to review any paperwork that I was being forced to sign.

After my last day I hired a lawyer to review the document. He was able to strike the part about me knowingly taking IP with me. He then advised me to sign the document, since court costs would be much more expensive.

Wow. What a horror story.

How were you taking IP? Just the knowledge you had in your head? What a joke.
