Software IP rights
One of the most critical issues in software distribution is understanding what is the object of the contract. From a legal perspective, a software is not a file but a range of rights. And that’s what software-houses and clients don’t know. They simply “sell” or “buy” software… but is that a real and complete purchase? Or is it just licensing or certain rights? And that’s where the problems start! Arranging an agreement which expressly states what are the rights of exploitation of the software is a required step in order to correctly quantify the economic value of the software and to avoid any misunderstandings between the parties.
Matching legal knowledge with a deep understanding of IT industry accrued over the last ten years is the key to better get client’s needs.
