contingent upon: (i) validation of your eligibility to work in the United States; (ii) your satisfactory completion of a background check; and (iii) your agreement to comply with the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment

Compensation & Benefits 
 If you decide to
join us, your gross base compensation will be $400,000 per year, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required withholdings, which will be paid on the 15th and last day of

 In addition to your base compensation, as a member of the Sales Department, you will also be eligible for an incentive opportunity for

 At-Will Employment 
 While we look forward to a productive and enjoyable work relationship, should you decide to

period of time and can be terminated by either the employee or the Company for any lawful reason at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. This at-will employment status cannot be modified except

 Termination Without Cause 

If you are either terminated without Cause (as defined herein) or you voluntarily resign your employment with the Company for Good Reason (as defined herein),
contingent on your knowingly and voluntarily executing a release of claims against the Company and its related persons and entities that is acceptable to the Company, you will receive: (i) severance compensation in a gross amount equal to
twelve (12) months of your annualized amount of your then-current base salary, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required withholdings; (ii) a prorated portion of your incentive compensation based on the effective

contained herein, which alleged breach, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice from the Company; (b) fraud, theft or dishonesty by you against

 “Good Reason” shall mean a
direct consequence of: (i) a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties without your consent; (ii) the Company’s material breach of this Agreement or any other agreement between you and the Company;
(iii) relocation of where you work by more than 50 miles from your current location; and/or (iv) a material diminution in your base compensation, provided that you have given written notice to the Company of any such event within thirty
(30) days after the occurrence thereof, the Company fails to cure such event to your reasonable satisfaction within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, and you resign within thirty (30) days after the end of such cure
period. 
 Termination Without Cause Following Change in Control 

Notwithstanding the above, if within twelve (12) months following a “Change in Control” (as defined in the Stock Plan), the Company (or, if

vest and become non-forfeitable.

As an employee of the Company, you will be expected to abide by the Company’s rules, regulations, policies, and procedures as communicated to you from
time to time. In your work for the Company, you will be expected not to use or disclose any confidential information, including trade secrets, of any former employer or other person to whom you have an obligation of confidentiality. You will be
expected to use only that information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to your own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain or which is otherwise
provided or developed by the Company. 
 By accepting this offer of employment and signing this Offer Letter, you acknowledge that you will be able to
perform those duties within these guidelines. You also agree that you are not bound by any restrictive covenants (e.g. non-compete or non-solicitation of

(including any claim related to terms or conditions of your employment with or compensation paid by the Company, or any change in or termination of your employment) may be litigated or otherwise adjudicated on a class or collective basis. You also
hereby waive any right to submit, initiate, or participate in a representative capacity or as a plaintiff, claimant, or member in a class action, collective action, or other representative or joint action against the Company, regardless of whether
the action is filed in a judicial or administrative forum.

 Restrictive Covenants 

By accepting this offer of employment, you agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of your relationship with

set up a Competing Business; (iv) participate, directly or indirectly, in any bidding process for the purpose of obtaining a grant to exploit an RPA business that directly or indirectly competes with the businesses of the Company;
(v) provide consulting or assistance services to any Competing Business; or (vi) enter or assist in entering, directly or indirectly, into any RPA business with any client of the Company. 

You understand and acknowledge that by virtue of your employment with the Company, you will have access to and knowledge of “Confidential
Information” (as defined in the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement), will be in a position of trust and confidence with the Company and will benefit from the Company’s goodwill. You understand and acknowledge that
the Company invested significant time and expense in developing the Confidential Information and goodwill. 
 You further understand and acknowledge that
any restrictive covenants set forth herein are necessary to protect the Company legitimate business interests in its Confidential Information. You further understand and acknowledge that the Company’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive
knowledge and use of the Company is of great competitive importance and commercial value to the Company and that the Company would be irreparably harmed if you violate the restrictive covenants set forth herein. 

You agree that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained in this restrictive covenant is coextensive with the
Company’s footprint and your performance of responsibilities for the Company and are therefore reasonable and not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company. You acknowledge that any violation or
attempted violation of this restrictive covenant will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and you therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction out of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining
any violation or further violation of such agreements by you or others acting on your behalf. The Company’s right to injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by law or equity. 

Although the parties believe that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity contained herein are reasonable and do not impose a
greater restraint than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, if it is judicially determined otherwise, the limitations shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make them reasonable and not to impose a
restraint that is greater than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company. In any such case, the Company and you agree that the remaining provisions of this Section shall be valid and binding as though any invalid
or unenforceable provision had not been included. 
 You agree that these restrictive covenants shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and
you hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located New York, as applicable, for any lawsuit arising from or relating to these restrictive covenants.

 2. Intellectual Property Rights 

(a) Intellectual Property Rights. 

(i) I hereby assign to the Company exclusively, for the entire period of protection provided by law and without limitation of territory
(worldwide), all patrimonial Intellectual Property Rights, including, without limitations, the right to the issuance of the patent and the right to invoke the priority in relation to the invention(s), rights over patents, registered trademarks,

derivative works created, made or developed by me (either alone or together with others) throughout the entire relationship with the Company, during or outside the work hours, in relation to the work responsibilities, instructions received from the
Company, or the activities performed based on or in connection with my service to the Company (the “Works”), as of the moment of their creation. 

(ii) The total and exclusive assignment of all Intellectual Property Rights on the Works, as defined in the preceding paragraph, shall
include all manners of use and exploitation provided by the law in any form and on any support, including any form that may be developed in the future and is not foreseen at the time of the conclusion of this Agreement, including, without

unlimited in territory and use assignment of all economic Intellectual Property Rights and Works as described above. Me and the Company agree that my remuneration for the assignment is fair in relation to the benefits obtained by me as a result of
the assignment. 
 (b) Work Inventions. Me and the Company agree that: 

(i) The rights to any invention arising out of the performance of my work responsibilities, expressly entrusted within the framework of my
service to the Company or set forth by other binding acts for me, which provide for an inventive mission, (“Invention”) belong to the Company; 

(ii) I am obliged to immediately notify the Company of any Invention created by me during my service with the Company and for a maximum
period of 2 years after termination that relates directly to the Company’s business, to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or that results from any work performed by me for the Company, in which I
used the Company’s Confidential Information. Such notice shall describe the Invention with clear enough data to define the invention and the conditions in which it was created. Following the information received from me, within a period of 4
months, the Company shall notify me of the incorporation of the invention into the category of Work Inventions and whether it claims the rights upon it, in which case the rights to the Invention will belong exclusively and in whole to the Company,
under the law, without any other prior formality, in exchange for a remuneration to be determined by the Company at that time, having considered: 
  

	 	•	 	 the economic, commercial and/or social effects arising from the exploitation of the Invention by the Company or
by third parties with the Company’s agreement; 

  
 90 Park Avenue, 20th Floor, New York, NY 10016

made available by the Company to achieve it; and 

  

	 	•	 	 my creative contribution, when the Invention was created by several inventors. 

(c) Miscellaneous. 

(i) Any decisions as to the patenting, registration, protection and/or exploitation of any and all of the Intellectual Property Rights that
belong to the Company as agreed hereby or to which the Company is otherwise entitled, as well as any decisions as to the finalization of the Inventions, works and original materials created by me, shall be at the sole discretion of the Company. 

(ii) I hereby undertake to perform all the legal acts and to comply with all the formalities required by the relevant legislation of any
country and/or European or international body, at the request of the Company, in order to obtain the full benefit rights in relation to any and all Intellectual Property Rights that belong to the Company as agreed hereby or to which the Company is
otherwise entitled. 
 (iii) I agree that I will not incorporate any Invention, Work or other material owned by or in relation to which any
other third party than the Company has rights, into any of the Works, Inventions, materials that belong to the Company, without the specific prior written approval of such.

Inventions made by me (solely or jointly with others) during the term of my service to the Company. The records will be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, electronic files, reports, or any other format that may be specified by the Company.
The records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times.

Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under applicable state law (see Exhibit A attached hereto). I will
advise the Company promptly in writing of any Inventions that could in any way meet the criteria per applicable state law so that the Company may determine whether such Inventions do in fact qualify for exclusion from assignment to the Company.
Information regarding Inventions that qualify fully under applicable state law will be received in confidence by the Company. 
 3.
Returning Company Documents. I agree that, at the time of terminating my service to the Company, I will immediately deliver to the Company (and will not keep in my possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all Company

behalf. The Company’s right to injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by law or equity. 

(iii) Although the parties believe that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity contained herein are reasonable
and do not impose a greater restraint than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, if it is judicially determined otherwise, the limitations shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make them reasonable and
not to impose a restraint that is greater than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company. 
 (iv) In any
such case, the Company and me agree that the remaining provisions of this Section shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included.

USC § 1833(b), I may not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosure of a trade secret: (i) made in confidence to a government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney,
solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; and/or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, I understand that an
individual suing an employer for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing
the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.

 Exhibit A 

If I am employed by the Company in the State of California, the following provision applies: California Labor Code Section 2870.
Application of provision providing that employee shall assign or offer to assign rights in invention to employer. 
 (a) Any provision in an
employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time
without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either: 

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably
anticipated research or development of the employer; or 
 (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for his employer. 

(b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being
required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable. 
 If I am employed by
the Company in the State of Delaware, the following provision applies: 
 Delaware Code, Title 19, § 805. Employee’s right to certain
inventions. 
 Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that the employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the
employee’s rights in an invention to the employee’s employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on the employee’s own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facility or trade
secret information, except for those inventions that: (i) relate to the employer’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. To the
extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to apply to the type of invention described, it is against the public policy of this State and is unenforceable. An employer may not require a provision of an employment agreement made
unenforceable under this section as a condition of employment or continued employment. 
 If I am employed by the Company in the State of Illinois,
the following provision applies: 
 Illinois Compiled Statutes Chapter 765, Section 1060/2. Sec. 2 Employee rights to inventions - conditions.

 (1) A provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee’s
rights in an invention to the employer does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, unless
(a) the invention relates (i) to the business of the employer, or (ii) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for
the employer. Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of this State and is to that extent void and unenforceable. The employee shall bear the burden of proof in establishing that his
invention qualifies under this subsection. 
 (2) An employer shall not require a provision made void and unenforceable by subsection
(1) of this Section as a condition of employment or continuing employment. This Act shall not preempt existing common law applicable to any shop rights of employers with respect to employees who have not signed an employment agreement. 

(3) If an employment agreement entered into after January 1, 1984, contains a provision requiring the employee to assign any of the
employee’s rights in any invention to the employer, the employer must also, at the time the agreement is made, provide a written notification to the employee that the agreement does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies,
facility, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of the employer, or (ii) to the employer’s
actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

STRICTLY PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL 

Theodore Gardner Kummert 
 Dear Ted: 

UiPath, Inc. (the “Company” or “UiPath”) is pleased to offer you a position as EVP, Product & Engineering
with your employment commencing on March 9, 2020. This offer and your employment relationship with the Company are subject to the terms and conditions of this offer letter (“Offer Letter”). 

As EVP, Product & Engineering, your principal duties will be to contribute to the successful growth and success of UiPath. In this position, you will
report to Daniel Dines in the Company’s UiPath Bellevue, Washington location. The Company may change your position, supervisor, duties and work location from time to time as it deems appropriate. 

If you decide to join us, your gross base compensation will be $450,000 per year, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required
withholdings, which will be paid on the 15th and last day of each month (unless either day lands on a weekend in which event you will be paid the Friday before) in accordance with the
Company’s normal payroll procedures and applicable law. 
 In addition to your base compensation, you may be eligible for a bonus of 0% to 50%
of your base salary, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required withholdings, based on your performance and the Company’s business results, which will be paid out annually. The Company reserves the right to modify the bonus
structure in its discretion. 
 As a Company employee, you are also eligible to receive the following employee benefits, which may be modified by the
Company: 
  

	 	•	 	 Equity: Following the commencement of your employment with UiPath and subject to approval of the
Company’s Board of Directors, which will occur as soon as feasible and in accordance with Company practice, you will receive an equity grant valued at approximately $22,000,000, which is governed by the terms of the Company’s
current Stock Plan. Please be advised that the equity is only deemed “granted” once approved by the Board; however, the effective start date shall serve as the vesting commencement date. The number of units of equity granted, which will be
in the amount of $11,000,000 in stock options and $11,000,000 in restricted stock units (“RSUs”), shall be based upon the preferred price of the equity as of the effective start date. The preferred price is determined by external
valuations based on business results and does not take into account any exercise price for stock options. The exercise price for stock options shall be based upon the fair market value of the stock options as of the date of grant by the Board.

 

 
  

	 	•	 	 401K matching: The Company matches 50% of your 401K contributions (up to the statutory limit).

  

	 	•	 	 PTO: You are entitled to unlimited paid time off in accordance with Company policies.

  

	 	•	 	 Travel in domestic first class and international business class for Company travel. 

While we look forward to a productive and enjoyable work relationship, should you decide to accept our offer, you will be an
at-will employee of the Company. This means the employment relationship is voluntarily entered into by mutual consent of the employee and the Company, is not for a specified period of time and can be
terminated by either the employee or the Company for any lawful reason at any time, with or without cause or advance notice. This at-will employment status cannot be modified except in a written document
signed by you and by the CEO of the Company. 
 Notwithstanding the above, if within twelve (12) months following a “Change in
Control” (as defined in the Stock Plan), the Company (or, if applicable, the successor entity thereto) terminates your employment for a reason other than for Cause (as defined below); or (ii) for Good Reason (as defined below), the vesting
and exercisability of your then unvested equity will immediately accelerate, vest and become non-forfeitable. 
 The
term “Cause” shall mean (a) your material breach of the Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement and any restrictive covenants contained herein, (b) fraud, theft or dishonesty by you against the Company,
(c) breach of your fiduciary duties, (d) any unlawful conduct that materially harms the Company, (e) your gross negligence or willful misconduct, (f) your continuing failure to perform assigned duties consistent with your
position, (g) your failure to cooperate in good faith with a governmental or internal investigation of the Company or its directors, officers or employees, (h) your material violation of the Company’s policies or procedures, and/or
(i) your violation of any agreement between you and any prior employer of you causing harm to the Company. 
 The term “Good Reason” shall
mean, without your consent: (i) a material diminution in your responsibilities, authority or duties without your consent; (ii) a material diminution in your base compensation; and (iii) required relocation to any place outside of 50
miles from Bellevue, WA. A termination of employment by you for a reason set forth in one of clauses (i) and (ii) will not constitute Good Reason unless, within the 60-day period immediately following the
occurrence of such Good Reason event, you give written notice to the Company specifying in reasonable detail the event or events relied upon for such termination, the Company does not reasonably remedy such event or events within thirty
(30) days of the receipt of such notice, and you resign within thirty (30) days after the end of such cure period. 
 In addition, if the Company
terminates your employment for a reason other than for Cause or for Good Reason, contingent on your knowingly and voluntarily executing a release of claims against the Company and its related persons and entities that is acceptable to the Company,
you will receive severance compensation in a gross amount equal to twelve (12) months of your annualized amount of your then- current base salary, less applicable taxes, payroll deductions, and all required withholdings. 

This offer is contingent upon your (i) validation of your eligibility to work in the United States; (ii) your satisfactory completion of a
background check; and (iii) your agreement to comply with the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement. Your failure to comply with either of these conditions gives the Company the right to revoke this offer or immediately
terminate its employment relationship with you.

 As an employee of the Company, you will be expected to abide by the Company’s rules, regulations,

in the public domain or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company. 
 By accepting this offer of employment and signing this Offer Letter, you
acknowledge that you will be able to perform those duties within these guidelines. You also agree that you are not bound by any restrictive covenants (e.g. non-compete or

any confidential documents or property belonging to any former employer or other third party to whom you owe an obligation of confidentiality. 
 By
accepting this offer of employment, you agree to submit any and all claims you may have against the Company on an individual basis. This means that no claim (including any claim related to terms or conditions of your employment with or compensation
paid by the Company, or any change in or termination of your employment) may be litigated or otherwise adjudicated on a class or collective basis. You also hereby waive any right to submit, initiate, or participate in a representative capacity or as
a plaintiff, claimant, or member in a class action, collective action, or other representative or joint action against the Company, regardless of whether the action is filed in a judicial or administrative forum. 

By accepting this offer of employment, you agree that for a period of twelve (12) months immediately following the termination of your relationship with
the Company, you shall not either directly or indirectly anywhere in the world: (1) work for or on behalf of any business that directly or indirectly competes with the Company, including without limitation, Automation Anywhere, Blue Prism,

You understand and acknowledge that by virtue of your employment with the Company, you will have access to and knowledge of “Confidential
Information” (as defined in the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement), will be in a position of trust and confidence with the Company and will benefit from the Company’s goodwill. You understand and acknowledge that
the Company invested significant time and expense in developing the Confidential Information and goodwill.

 You further understand and acknowledge that any restrictive covenants set forth herein are necessary to
protect the Company legitimate business interests in its Confidential Information. You further understand and acknowledge that the Company’s ability to reserve these for the exclusive knowledge and use of the Company is of great competitive
importance and commercial value to the Company and that the Company would be irreparably harmed if you violate the restrictive covenants set forth herein. 

You agree that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained in this restrictive covenant is coextensive with the
Company’s footprint and your performance of responsibilities for the Company and are therefore reasonable and not greater than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company. You acknowledge that any violation or
attempted violation of this restrictive covenant will cause irreparable damage to the Company, and you therefore agree that the Company shall be entitled as a matter of right to an injunction out of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining
any violation or further violation of such agreements by you or others acting on your behalf. The Company’s right to injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies provided by law or equity. 

Although the parties believe that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity contained herein are reasonable and do not impose a
greater restraint than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company, if it is judicially determined otherwise, the limitations shall be reformed to the extent necessary to make them reasonable and not to impose a
restraint that is greater than necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Company. In any such case, the Company and you agree that the remaining provisions of this Section shall be valid and binding as though any invalid
or unenforceable provision had not been included. 
 You agree that these restrictive covenants shall be governed by the laws of the State of Washington and
you hereby expressly consent to the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located the State of Washington, as applicable, for any lawsuit arising from or relating to these restrictive covenants. 

To indicate your acceptance of our offer, please sign and date this Offer Letter in the space provided below and return it to me no later than
February 21, 2020. This letter, along with the Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement, sets forth the complete and exclusive terms of your employment with the Company and supersedes any prior
representations or agreements, whether written or oral.

incorporation of the invention into the category of Work Inventions and whether it claims the rights upon it, in which case the rights to the Invention will belong exclusively and in whole to the
Company, under the law, without any other prior formality, in exchange for a remuneration to be determined by the Company at that time, having considered: 
  

	 	•	 	 the economic, commercial and/or social effects arising from the exploitation of the Invention by the Company or
by third parties with the Company’s agreement; 

  

	 	•	 	 the extent to which the Company has been involved in the realization of the Invention, including the resources
made available by the Company to achieve it; and

The records are and will be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all times. 
 (v) Exception to
Assignments. I understand that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention that qualifies fully under applicable state law (see Exhibit A attached hereto). I will
advise the Company promptly in writing of any Inventions that could in any way meet the criteria per applicable state law so that the Company may determine whether such Inventions do in fact qualify for exclusion from assignment to the Company.
Information regarding Inventions that qualify fully under applicable state law will be received in confidence by the Company.

suspected violation of law; and/or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. Additionally, I understand that an individual suing an employer for retaliation based on the
reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual
does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order. 
 11. General Provisions. 

(a) Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California if I

New York, as applicable, for any lawsuit filed there against me by the Company arising from or relating to this Agreement. 
 (b)
Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, together with the exhibit herein and any executed written offer letter between me and the Company, to the extent such materials are not in conflict with this Agreement, sets forth the entire
agreement and understanding between the Company and me relating to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will
be effective unless in writing signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes in my duties or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of this Agreement.

obligations under this Agreement to any successor to all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or stock, or otherwise. 

(e) Waiver. Failure of either party to enforce compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of
such provision unless accompanied by a clear written statement that such provision is waived. A waiver of any default hereunder or of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a continuing waiver or a waiver of any
other default or of any other term or condition, but shall apply solely to the instance to which such waiver is directed.

 Exhibit A 

If I am employed by the Company in the State of California, the following provision applies: 

California Labor Code Section 2870. Application of provision providing that employee shall assign or offer to assign rights in invention to employer. 

(a) Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an
invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions
that either: 
 (1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or
demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or 
 (2) Result from any work performed by the employee for his employer.

 (b) To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from
being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable. 
 If I am
employed by the Company in the State of Delaware, the following provision applies:

except for those inventions that: (i) relate to the employer’s business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (ii) result from any work performed by the employee for the employer. To the extent a provision
in an employment agreement purports to apply to the type of invention described, it is against the public policy of this State and is unenforceable. An employer may not require a provision of an employment agreement made unenforceable under this
section as a condition of employment or continued employment. 
 If I am employed by the Company in the State of Illinois, the following provision
applies:

Sec. 2. Employee rights to inventions - conditions. 

(1) A provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign or offer to assign any of the employee’s rights
in an invention to the employer does not apply to an invention for which no equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, unless (a) the
invention relates (i) to the business of the employer, or (ii) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for the employer.
Any provision which purports to apply to such an invention is to that extent against the public policy of this State and is to that extent void and unenforceable. The employee shall bear the burden of proof in establishing that his invention
qualifies under this subsection. 
 (2) An employer shall not require a provision made void and unenforceable by subsection (1) of this
Section as a condition of employment or continuing employment. This Act shall not preempt existing common law applicable to any shop rights of employers with respect to employees who have not signed an employment agreement. 

 

 
  

 (3) If an employment agreement entered into after January 1, 1984, contains a provision
requiring the employee to assign any of the employee’s rights in any invention to the employer, the employer must also, at the time the agreement is made, provide a written notification to the employee that the agreement does not apply to an
invention for which no equipment, supplies, facility, or trade secret information of the employer was used and which was developed entirely on the employee’s own time, unless (a) the invention relates (i) to the business of the
employer, or (ii) to the employer’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (b) the invention results from any work performed by the employee for the employer.
