What to know about Software developers
Commissioning custom software in the United States turns on one legal fact most buyers learn too late: paying for code does not by itself make you the copyright owner. Under title 17, the employer is treated as the author of a work made for hire, but an independent contractor's work only qualifies as a work made for hire if it falls within a short list of categories and the parties expressly agree in a signed written instrument. Software is not on that list. Ownership therefore has to come from a written assignment.
