Related: I have an illustrator friend who's done work for Marvel, Disney,
and similar large media companies. When it comes to rights/ownership of
work (which is always the company), the contracts provided by the media
companies literally use the word "universe" to describe the extents of
where their ownership applies. So unless you have the ability to travel
to a different universe, your contract always remains in force.
The other day I was having a long-distance phone call with a friend of
mine who lives on a planet
revolving round Alpha Centauri and he pointed out that as they invented
a patenting system about
50,000 years before we did all of our patents were not worth a fig in
terms of the 'universe'.
LOL.
Richmond.
I imagine the corporate lawyers will soon add an addendum that covers time
travel, so you can't go back and break the contract before it was written.

LOL.
The inventor has shortchanged himself by needlessly restricting the
invention to swings hanging from trees. Write broad claims! :)
