Sec. 302. Notice on contract. Each and every contract for invention development services shall carry a distinctive and conspicuous cover sheet with the following notice to the customer printed thereon in boldface type of not less than 10-point size or equivalent size if handwritten:
"The following disclosures are required by law:
You have the right to cancel this contract for any reason at any time within 7 days from the date you receive a copy of it signed by all parties to the contract. To exercise this option you need only mail or deliver to the other party written notice of your cancellation. The method and time for notification is set forth in this contract immediately above the place for your signature. Upon your cancellation, the other party must return by mail, within 5 business days, all money paid and all materials provided by you.
This contract is regulated by law. The other party to this contract is not qualified or permitted to advise you whether protection of your invention is available under the patent laws of the United States or any other laws. If your invention is patentable or infringes an existing patent, your failure to inquire into these matters may affect your rights to your invention. Disclosure of your invention on a nonconfidential basis may also adversely affect your rights."
