Developed app for a person can he claim copyright on the code
13-Jun-2023 (In Trademark & Copyright Law)
We a group of freelancers worked for an individual for an app he wanted agreeing on a price. Only a verbal Confirmation and no written contract whatsoever. However, now the employer finds problems with the app (after launching it) and denies full payment. Yet again he asks for the full ownership of code and on top asks that we do not sell it any other third party and says it's a violation of law. I am ofcourse no expert but this cant be right? How can he have any right on out code especially without any signed contract between us? Please help.
There are two kinds of copyright owners. First is the author (creator) of the work and the second is the owner of the work. A person can acquire the work from the author for payment. In your case, until the employer makes the payment for the work, you are the rightful owner of the work you have created.
