Certainly something to be conscious of. I should have made clear that for the most part, the code I'm talking about is from entities owned by myself and possibly one other person, a business partner I've worked with on multiple projects for many years. No outside investment or shareholders. This greatly simplifies the IP issues.
- MrMike 15y agoIANAL, but I use a pretty basic Asset Purchase Agreement between the old entity and the new to cover the IP. Again, since what I'm talking about is myself (and possibly one other person) as the shareholder, it's quite painless.
- jonah 15y agoThanks for the clarification, but legally you'll still need to assign the IP to your new entity? By default, what happens to IP when the owning company ceases to exist?
- MrMike 15y agoOops.. replied to this one level up. Sorry. In terms of the original company ceasing to exist, I'm not sure. Before dissolving, I do the Asset Purchase Agreement.
