Great topic of discussion. A lot of developers also hire other developers and this is why there should be proper wording within your contracts to address intellectual property rights. Most importantly, to make sure IP is assigned to you or your company. I am a cyber insurance expert and one of the main concerns when I underwrite an insurance application is making sure the contracts contain the proper wording. One of the questions within my cyber insurance application is whether IP is formally assigned and whether there is legal review of your contracts. This is our main focus at CyberPolicy. Making sure we can insure and protect developers and their companies from financial loss due to privacy or data breach liability, including copyright infringement and intellectual property rights.
Great post. BTW how long did it take to find your job? I've been looking for the past two years with no luck. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Hey! Thank you for comment! I'm sorry, it's taking so long. From previous experience, I understand the toll it can take. When I did my career transition into tech, It was only about a month and the interviewing process took 4 months. This position, was from the help of my bootcamp's career services.
But before, I would go to different meetups in my city, I would join designated city slack channels to get my name out and I think one thing that stood out, besides my projects was that I started teaching code for a local non profit. I would look also on designated city job boards. I barely got any luck big job boards.
Thank you 🤗😊
Hello! I'm from Mexico and here we have 2 important cases:
1) When you write code for other people (such as companies), the code you write is owned by them, because it's a work that someone assigned to you.
2) When you write your own code, you have some rights. You need to register to access all law rights. You just need to register the more important parts of your code.
Thanks for writing this. You're absolutely right that this is a sensitive area both for developers and employers alike - and one that's often overlooked by even very experienced developers.
