Conflicts of interest

There are potentially serious problems from a person's present employer claiming ownership of anything the person does for the new venture. If you have signed any agreement on ownership of patent rights, etc., please get us a copy of it.

Even if you haven't signed an agreement, you have certain responsibilities to your present employer, if any. We'll have to have legal counsel draw up a paper by which everyone will make clear his right to create software for the venture.
