Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Florida

Google's interesting contest

Google has a $2m prize for best ideas, but would I retain ownership/rights or would we (both Google and I) jointly own the rights if I make a submission? Please help! Google's exact clause is below:

''As between you and Google, you retain ownership of any intellectual and industrial property rights (including moral rights) you have in and to your submission.''

What does that ''as between you and Google'' part mean....it kinda makes me nervous and think that I wouldn't soley own my invention/idea if I submitted it.

Re: Google's interesting contest

I would check to see if this prize is legitimate. Contact Google directly. This does not sound correct.
