California Labor Code 2870 states that an employer does not have rights to an employee's inventions created on their own time and without using the employer's resources. This means that employees in California have the right to retain ownership of their intellectual property created outside of work hours. This law protects employees' rights to their own creations and can impact the ownership and control of intellectual property rights in the workplace.
