Software Inventor Recovers Rights to Product

Individuals who create original works can often fall victim to intellectual property disputes brought forward by companies envious of such inventions. 

Our client is a computer programmer who designed a software product for original equipment manufacturers. While interviewing for a position with a prospective company, our client disclosed this software product’s existence out of an abundance of transparency. Our client also offered to sell the software product to the company if hired.

Ultimately, our client was not hired by that company. Years later, after announcing his software product, our client received a cease and desist letter from the would-be employer for breach of contract. Our litigation attorneys successfully negotiated the full release of intellectual property claims against our client. Now, our client can confidently claim ownership of his invention.
