Sorry, I should have specified: This is in the United States. Here "inventions" is specifically patentable stuff. See https://www.uspto.gov/patents-getting-started/general-inform...

I'm in the US too.

Inventions is usually defined in the contract itself and does not necessarily apply to patentable things.

This is just my personal experience, so take it for what it's worth, though I do have a fair amount of experience with contracts and non-competes.

That seems weird to me, that a contract would redefine a term that already has a legal meaning, but there are weird things in law.
