I wonder if you could create a toxic legal liability by assigning an IP right to the company. E.g. create a trademark about bestiality or pornography, and assign it to the company. Or file a toxic patent (it doesn't need a lawyer). Obvious difficulty to find something you can publish while avoiding legal liability yourself...

*The CLAUSE explicitly says "or item of intellectual property".

We can't conclude what the agreement means by "intellectual property". See comment to sister reply. We need the entire agreement text to make conclusions.
