It definitely matters how I interpret it as I'm one of the parties signing it.

The judge comes in when there is a disagreement on the interpretations, which means I have to state what makes my position stand and bring arguments. With a clause that states "the company owns all", I have no arguments I can come up with, but with the one in the post above, I can at least come up with the reson that "it falls outside that clause written here in the contract".

It might be, or not be enough, but at least I have one thing I can use to my advantage and not make a fool of myself in court.
