Hello!
I'm in the process of putting a few apps together. I'm an American and will be working with the US App Store, though I actually live in Japan currently.
Just wondering what your personal experience is with legal protection for your apps and ideas.
Did you create a legal entity (Corp, LLC or SP) BEFORE launching your apps, or AFTER? It seems like it would be important to have the legal protection at the time of launching in case someone were to steal your ideas.
Also, if I were to submit an app to the AppStore that unintentionally had some similar characters or features to something else already for sale somewhere in the world, would I be liable for "stealing" an idea?
Thanks so much!
