Law/Patents / industrial property rights

German term or phrase: zeitlich, räumlich, u. inhaltlich

context: employment agreement;
assignment of industrial property rights

"Soweit das Gesetz über Arbeitnehmererfindungen in seiner jeweiligen Fassung nicht einschlägig ist, verpflichten Sie sich, uns sämtliche gewerblichen Schutzrechte an Ihren Arbeitsergebnissen, die Sie während der Dauer Ihres Arbeitsverhältnisses begründen, soweit gesetzlich zulässig zeitlich, räumlich und inhaltlich unbeschränkt zu übertragen."

I would greatly appreciate help with this phrase (particularly trying to figure out if räumlich refers to area of application or geography/territory), so that I can find a way to fit it into the sentence.
TIA, Beth

Explanation:
>trying to figure out if räumlich refers to area of application - this would the scope in my oppion.

Please see
Urheberrechtsgesetz (Nutzungsrecht)

Example:
1. Der Urheber hat das Recht, seine Werke sowohl zeitlich als auch räumlich in der Nutzung einzuschränken. So sind die amerikanischen Autoren (gerade in der Anfangszeit) wohl kaum auf den Gedanken gekommen, es gäbe auch außerhalb der USA intelligentes Leben - und haben infolgedessen auch nie an eine Anwendung außerhalb der USA gedacht. Die Einräumung von Rechten (welche auch immer) kann sich daher höchstens nur auf das Staatsgebiet der USA erstrecken.
