We start a new conversation with attorney Richard Gearhart about copyright and trademarks and how we need to be aware of them. This is an area of software development I often hear discussed but without any good answers. Our discussion provides the legal answers we look for.

Software Copyright And Trademarks Are Important

We all bump up against legal issues at times including copyright and trademarks. Therefore, we need to have a good foundation of knowledge. Otherwise, we can spend a lot of time and money on a solution that is not legally viable. Richard provides an excellent overview of this area of software products and services to give us that foundation.
