This infographic will walk you through the legal bases you need cover for each step of app development. It was created by Legal123

We’ve all had our ideas for apps. What if you could fling enraged songbirds at smug farm animals? Doesn’t that sound awesome? Someone should get on that. They’ll need this guide though, because the legal system is not simple, and if they miss any one of these steps they might well be kicking themselves further down the road.

This guide was made for Australia, but the legal necessities are pretty much universal. The IP protection step specifies IP Australia, which I guess is a single government body, but you can slot in whatever agency you need to deal with in your country.

App Development, let’s get started

Looking ahead which steps we shall take to develop an App it makes it maybe more clear. Number 1: Brainstorm a great idea and then work immediately on a confidentiality agreement to protect your idea. Otherwise, you will end up like a nomad working alone on it.

Designing the app is essential and lead already to the latest success, designing is nearly an own step of innovation but legal seen you need to crosscheck now. Is there any evidence of copyright you might violate or is there the possibility that you can already make a copyright on it. Special working here with partners you want to limit them that they can not use your design.

Hiring an app developer might be more a pain in the ass than anything else. I know what I am talking about, there are countries where government bodies would never protect you against copyright violation and stealing intellectual property. Be wise with your developer contract and how to protect yourself.

After making a great job happen it does not yet stop. Marketing your app brings you forward for popularity and app name, logo, marketing tasks, and budget take influence. Hand it hand is your marketing responsible for your trademark of your app name and logo protection. A patent might be not easy to register but give it a shot, they protect the functionality of your app which needs to be unique.

Legal everywhere it does not stop

Well, you think you are done, no once it is out of the market you need to capture what your users are allowed to do, what your app promises to do and what people pay for and what not. Read carefully the contracts on the app stores like Apple., Google and others where you offer the download. All the infographic relates to regulatory bodies of a country or in our case Australia. Utilize them, they protect you.

Or maybe you don’t have one country, maybe you’re a digital nomad, roaming the world developing and designing for others or for yourself, living wherever the wind may take you.

In that case, good luck figuring out all the app legal stuff on top of your visa woes. Then you should probably check out this infographic on how to digital nomad like a boss and make it happen, App Development what you need to know for your success.
