Can an employer enforce an IP Assignment Agreement if it was signed after an employee had already started working for the company?

IP Assignment Agreement
Washington
I recently started working for a tech company and was asked to sign an IP Assignment Agreement, which states that any intellectual property I create during my employment belongs to the company. However, I had already been working on a personal project before joining the company, and now I'm concerned that they might try to claim ownership of it. I want to know if the agreement is enforceable, given that it was signed after I had already started working for them.

I hope that you have not yet signed this agreement, because it may indeed be enforceable. If it has not yet been signed, amend the agreement to exclude the personal project from the agreement before you sign it.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
