We help in various ways, including to put in place confidentiality agreements, licences, and other types of legal documentation. If you are a software developer clarity on the implications of using open source code, or 3rd party services and APIs like Google Maps, Twitter and Facebook will be essential. We can also help you understand how copyright protects your applications, and how to maximise return on your investment through effective licensing contractual provisions. Disclosure of ideas in the wrong circumstances will be fatal to securing patent protection so be sure to take early advice. Even if the idea isn't patentable, you may still be able to protect aesthetic features of your products which are no less important to their success. If any of these statements are true to you, then take the first step by submitting an enquiry, and we will be in touch to explain how we help. • I'm an app developer looking to market my software • I want to keep my know how secret when engaging contractors • We're planning to use open source, is there anything we need to know? • Can I protect my designs, and stop imitators? • I've invented an exciting product and want to protect it before going public • How do I find out if my invention is new? • How do I stop competitors copying my software? |
