Why does nobody talk about how long it takes to fix a bad 'work for hire' clause?

I just spent three weeks going back and forth on a single line about who owns the final designs. It was buried in the middle of a standard agreement and almost got past me. Has anyone else had a clause that ate up way more time than it should have?

Three weeks sounds about right, doesn't it? @ray215, a month on a non-compete proves some clauses are just built to waste time.

Ugh, tell me about it. I had one that tried to block me from the whole state for a year. My lawyer told them to get real. We settled on three months and a very small list of actual competitors. Always push back on the geography and job duty parts, they're almost always too broad.

Took a month to kill a non-compete once. Brutal.
