hi all - i have developed a software product and i'm considering working with a patent attorney to protect it. more importantly, i have never marketed anything like this. i'd need to get an llc, web presence, and so much more. i've had an interested party (established software company) interested in hiring me and using my technology, which would make matters much simpler for me. i'm concerned:
1) they are overseas, i'm in the u.s.
2) what if they hire me, get my source code, and abruptly relinquish my employment status?
i'd probably need to sign a contract with them, but again, them being overseas would add complexity for remedial actions by me, if necessary?
i've also thought about reaching out to another established software company or two about some sort of partnership / employment / royalties for
use of my product / technology. any thoughts for the best way to proceed, with the most important aspect being protecting myself and my product?
