Dallas Software Lawyer – How One Can Help Your Business

DALLAS, TX / ACCESSWIRE / February 28, 2017 / Whether you run a software company or are an application developer, it’s important to get an experienced Dallas software lawyer to help you protect your intellectual property (IP).

How does that work?

Software Development Agreement

Have your attorney review your software development agreement to ensure that it provides you what you need for your business. If you don’t have a contract, your software lawyer can prepare one that’s designed to meet your needs. Note that what’s included in your agreement will vary depending upon whether it’s a desktop application, mobile app, or software-as-a-service (SaaS).

Never accept the other party’s contract at face value as “standard” for app development. If you’re a developer, you want an agreement you can use repeatedly that’s designed to let you recycle code on other app development projects while limiting your liability exposure if the client is unhappy.

On the other hand, if you have software being developed by employees or independent contractors, you want to make sure you truly get what you pay for, plus have legal remedies in case something goes wrong.

Software Beta Testing Agreement

If you’re beta testing your software (and you should) before release, you’ll want to make it clear in a software beta test contract the limited rights and responsibilities of those testing your software. The scope of your license granted will be more restrictive than the end user license agreement (EULA) that retail customers get upon release.

Your software legal professional can draft the narrow terms you want to protect your IP at this important stage of development.

Software Evaluation License Agreement
