This is one thing that irks me a bit. You may be doing real-world code tests where you build something, but they're not using your code for it and they don't have copyright assignment over it (unless you sign that away but I've never seen that).

Real-world problems have often been touted as a solution to useless whiteboard tests but then I've seen a lot of resentment when someone doesn't get a job with it. A month is too much time to spend on an interview project though.
