Service Overview
App Law is basically a new development taking place in other areas of law. It includes four
main sectors, which are PATENTS, COPYRIGHT, TRADEMARK and PRIVACY. Generally, the
following list focuses on common issues that should be considered while developing the app
business:
1. Problems can be faced if too much is borrowed from someone’s work. Ideas are not
protected only their expressions are protected.
2. The inventor should legally own all the aspects of the app including the story, images
and sound. If the work is copied, the inventor is put on a direct path with a lawsuit.
Licensing is often more complicated and expensive than original work.
3. The app must be registered with the Copyright Office to have federal protection right in
order to sue others from someone infringing the app. Registering also provides notices
for those searching the copyright database.
4. A competent attorney should be consulted for liabilities and tax influence the type of
business formed. Failure to do so may expose you to additional liability.
5. Information should be collected, processed and developed in a proper manner.
6. A marketing plan should be developed at an early stage to avoid wastage of time.
