That seems risky - an employer may claim ownership of those

That's precisely why I mention it. We expect that applicants to
take the necessary steps to verify there are no issues *before*
applying. If, during the application process, it is discovered
that there are potential issues, that's grounds for an
automatic rejection. We do have access to a legal team, so
there will be a certain level of due diligence where required.
Would it be easier to submit a approved conflict of interest
paper with the application?
