Legal Issues in iOS Development
summary
Form a business entity like LLC or S corp to limit personal liability, use written contracts so contractors assign code and work product, file DMCA registration and include DMCA safe-harbor language for user generated content, expect a basic patent to cost ~ $10k and take years so consider a provisional patent to claim a filing date, remember copyright exists on creation and registration enables statutory damages up to $100k, and register a trademark early since filing fees are a few hundred dollars and brand protection is the most practical defense.
