My main focus is estate planning and business transactions, but I have had many practice areas throughout my career, including criminal defense and prosecution, civil litigation from neighborhood squabbles to corporate contentions. I have also worked in bankruptcy, family law, collections, employment law, and personal injury. I stand ready to assist in any area to which I feel I can be of service, but will not try to fake it if I do not know the area of law I am being asked to serve in.

Intellectual Property
Developer Agreement
California
What are the key elements that should be included in a Developer Agreement?
I am a software developer and I have been approached by a company to develop a mobile application for them. They have provided me with a Developer Agreement to review and sign. However, I am not familiar with the legal aspects of such agreements and I want to ensure that I am protecting my rights and interests. I would like to know what are the essential elements that should be included in a Developer Agreement to safeguard my work, ownership of intellectual property, and ensure fair compensation for my services.
Dolan W.
When you're reviewing a Developer Agreement, it’s really important to make sure it covers the basics while also protecting your rights and interests. Here’s a breakdown of what you should look out for in plain terms: Hello! My name is Dolan and I am happy to help. First off, the agreement should clearly describe the scope of work (often called the "SOW") This means it needs to explain exactly what you're expected to do, including the features or functionality of the app, the timeline for delivery, and any milestones. Make it specific. It has to be clear what is defined as intellectual property and then who owns it. Compensation is another big one. The agreement should spell out how much you’re being paid, whether it’s a flat fee, hourly rate, or based on milestones. I Confidentiality clauses are pretty standard, but you’ll want to make sure they don’t go overboard. Termination clauses are also super important. These should say under what conditions either of you can end the agreement. Make sure that if the company decides to end things early, you’ll still get paid for the work you’ve done up to that point. We can always draft these things for you or look over what you've drafted. Best of luck! Dolan

DMCA Policy
Florida
Can I be held liable for DMCA violations if I unknowingly host copyrighted material on my website?
As a website owner, I recently received a DMCA takedown notice claiming that I am hosting copyrighted material without permission. However, I was unaware that the material was copyrighted and it was uploaded by a user. I promptly removed the content upon receiving the notice, but I'm concerned about potential legal consequences. Can I be held liable for DMCA violations if I unknowingly host copyrighted material on my website?
Amy B.
Since the user uploaded copyrighted material to your website without your knowledge, generally you will not be automatically liable under the DMCA “safe harbor” provision. As you have already removed the content, make sure that your site has a published DMCA policy and that you have registered your designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. Generally, if you have everything in place, most of these matters are resolved without ongoing liability. Feel free to reach out if you need guidance on setting up a policy and agent registration.
Intellectual Property
Work For Hire Agreement
Texas
Can an employer claim ownership of intellectual property created by an employee under a Work For Hire Agreement?
I recently started a new job where I am expected to create original content as part of my role. I was asked to sign a Work For Hire Agreement that states any intellectual property I create during my employment will be owned by the company. However, I have concerns about this arrangement as I have invested significant time and resources into developing my creative skills and worry that my work may be undervalued or exploited without proper compensation or recognition. I would like to understand if the employer can legitimately claim ownership of my intellectual property under the Work For Hire Agreement, and if there are any steps I can take to protect my rights while still meeting my employment obligations.
Sara S.
Hi, Yes, intellectual property created by you as an employee, within the scope of your employment, under a work-for-hire agreement, probably belongs to your employer. To learn more about your rights under the agreement and any exceptions, you should consult with a qualified attorney.

Video License Agreement
Maryland
Can I use a video licensed under a Creative Commons license for commercial purposes?
I am a small business owner planning to create an advertisement for my product, and I found a video on a platform that is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license. While I understand that the license allows for non-commercial use, I am unsure if I can use this video in a commercial context without violating the terms of the license. I want to ensure that I am legally using the video and not infringing on any rights or facing potential legal consequences.
Haroldo M.
Hi. If the Creative Commons License that you mentioned (CC BY-NC 4.0) does not allow for commercial usage, using that content commercially would violate the license. If you tranform the work sufficiently, you could potentially use it without violating the terms of the license.

Intellectual Property Rights Transfer Agreement
Georgia
Can I transfer the intellectual property rights for a product I created to another company?
I have recently developed a new product and I am considering transferring the intellectual property rights to a larger company that has the resources to manufacture and market it on a larger scale. I want to ensure that I can retain some control or receive royalties from the product's future success, and I am unsure of the legal process and implications involved in transferring the intellectual property rights to another entity.
Benjamin M.
Yes, you can achieve this through an IP license agreement versus a sale of your IP rights. In your license you would want to protect against gray market product manufacturing and also have provisions on how to handle defective products and components during the manufacturing process. I am available for a free consultation if you would like.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
