You're presumably referring to California Civil Code ยง2870 [1].

When I had a side project going on and asked my California attorney if this was enough to protect me from my BigCo employer, she said something like, "No. If they want to stop you they'll just drown you in legal procedures that you can't afford to pay. That you're right isn't really that relevant."

Definitely a risk - just not one I rate too high if there is no overlap in the business.
