We prepare agreements that ensure businesses effectively acquire the rights to software developed by employees or external developers. We can also audit existing agreements.
We draft agreements that effectively transfer to businesses the copyright in works created as part of software development projects, whether under employment contracts, business-to-business arrangements or contracts for a specific work. We address the transfer of economic copyright, derivative rights such as modifying code, and the rights to use the work in all required fields of exploitation, in Poland and abroad.
We include key safeguards for the delivery and updating of source code, technical and user documentation, and the deposit of code in repositories or escrow.
We review existing agreements with employees and contractors, identify gaps in the acquisition of rights and propose effective remedies.
We help clients use open source components safely and commission software development from their chosen contractors.
Experience
We have repeatedly drafted and reviewed agreements with developers for clients in the IT sector and audited such agreements for clients in other industries.
In numerous implementation and maintenance projects, we have advised on source code escrow agreements that protect the operational continuity of deployed solutions.
