California Codes, Business and Professions Code - BPC, Division 8 — Special Business Regulations, Chapter 17 — Invention Development Services Contracts, Article 4.5 — Remedies and Enforcement, Section 22383
Any contract for invention development services which does not comply with the applicable provisions of this chapter shall be void and unenforceable as contrary to public policy, provided that no contract shall be void and unenforceable if the invention developer proves that noncompliance was unintentional and resulted from a bona fide error notwithstanding the use of reasonable procedures adopted to avoid any such errors and makes an appropriate correction.
Notes
Establishes that an invention-development-services contract violating applicable chapter provisions is void and unenforceable as contrary to public policy. Exempts a contract from that consequence when the invention developer proves the noncompliance was unintentional, resulted from a bona fide error despite reasonable error-avoidance procedures, and is appropriately corrected.
