3. **License to Company for your IP in Company projects.** If you include your own IP – such as IP you created prior to working for the Company – into a Company project, it's still yours, of course, but you grant the Company a non-exclusive, irrevocable, fully paid-up, royalty-free, perpetual, sublicensable, transferable, worldwide license to use it without restriction in any way or implementation, in modified form, or as is, by itself, or incorporated into a product or service ("License"). If you include your name in any project over which the Company would have rights under this Agreement, such as in a copyright notice or a comment in code or documentation, then the License covers the rights associated with that use of your name as well.

The License also covers any IP that you create, or help create during the term of your employment or contract work, _outside the scope of your employment or contract_, but only if it meets one or more of these additional conditions: The IP was (i) related to an existing or prospective Company project at the time you developed, invented, or created it, (ii) developed for use by the Company, or (iii) developed or promoted with existing Company IP or with the Company's endorsement.
The License also covers any IP that you create, or help create during the term of your employment or contract work, _outside the scope of your employment or contract_, but only if it relates to the Company's business or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development.

You agree to follow Company policies and procedures for using non-Company IP in Company projects, and to check with Legal for any situation not clearly and fully addressed by Company policy.
