Hi All:
I had a very nice conversation with a young engineer this morning about a new project his company wants my design input on, and my prototyping services after the design is finalized.
We discussed how I might go about it, and at the end of the conversation he asked me to sign an NDA that he would send.
I received it.
Yep...it was written by an asshole lawyer...sign away your rights to your firstborn child...remedies for damages to all assignees and successors in perpetuity, all my shit is now their shit and I can't ever use it again or even talk about it... wank wank wank.
Since they want MY expertise and not the other way round, I have zero interest in signing it as written.
So I crossed out whole chunks of it and sent it back for their review.
I am curious how they will respond, and I will certainly post a follow up if they do respond.
So how would you guys handle it...edit it, or refuse it?
Why would you pick the course of action you propose?
Fuckin' lawyers!! They can screw up ANYTHING!
Cheers
