Why? It seems pretty good to me.

I did a little googling and it seems, that if you patent something that benefits your company, they can license it from you, and if they patent something you invent, then they have to pay you a revenue share. If they try and fuck you after a disclosure, then you get to keep the patent.

I recind my above statement. That is surprisingly (as an American) reasonable. The comment I replied to made it sound much more onerous, but with those details it sounds very fair.
