Confidentiality & Intellectual Property Rights & Assignment Agreement

I am writing on behalf of my mother. On her way out of work today she was given an "agreement" to read/initial/sign tonight and give back to her employers tomorrow. Not doing this WILL get her fired. She works for a fairly large Japenese company who does run their company like all of the workers are also Japenese, this is NOT the case. She knows there is a very minimal risk that any of the "agreement" would pertain to her but doesn't agree with MOST of what is stated in it. The way it reads sounds absolutely ludicris but I would like some back up. For the most part it states that any ideas you come up with (writing a book/movie, releasing an album, coming up with some new fangled gadget, etc) that you come up with while you are employed with this company (whether you be in the US or wherever on vacation) would then belong to the company, no matter if it pertains to the company, even after she leaves the company she would still be bound to that by signing this "agreement". It even has a Power of Attorney that reads: Employee further authorized & grants a limited p.o.a. to "the company" counsel to execute on Employee's behalf any documents necessary to evidence the assignments granted herein for the US or any other country w/out further notice to Employee. That just doesn't sound right. On the last page it asks that you list any previous inventions that you have, why so they can get money from you on that. Like I said before she has no problem with the confidentiality agreement but the rest sounds far fetched, such as the part that if anything were to be "works" (inventions, ideas, etc) while she is employeed or even after, the company would be entitled to proceeds from the "works". Or that if there are currently any "works" they will be pulled from circulation upon leaving the company. I don't know if maybe it's just us or the state we live in (which is Georgia) but I don't think when my mom started working there she agreed to sell her soul to them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
