Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New Jersey

I am working as a "developer" for a client in another state. We have both signed an NDA as well as a separate agreement of employment. The employment agreement does not discuss any specifics related to IP rights (assignment, award, royalties, etc). In other words as of right now If I come up with an original patentable idea while working for this client, there is no plan in place which explains how that IP will be assigned or shared.
In the mean time while I am working with the client to implement a IP policy, what can I do to document and protect the patentable information exchanged thus far?
I have begun to print out and keep a binder of email conversations (just about all of our information exchanges are in e-mail form). Some of these e-mails have been notarized as well in an attempt to reinforce their date of origin. Is this a solid approach?
