Legal Question in Intellectual Property in California
I have an idea about a mobile application, should I get IP and Patent protection, even though I know that my idea is 30% different compare to my competition?
what type of corporation should I setup?
what percentage ownership my CTO should have if he is not charging me build the mobile app?
Thanks

It is difficult to answer your questions without more details as to how you came up with the app, and how is the CTO involved in the entire situation. If you want to discuss this further, feel free to contact me or an attorney in your area.

When developing a new product or business, these are all the natural questions that flow. I generally help clients with choosing the correct business structure and protecting their intellectual property. Depending on further info from you, you might not need a patent - which could be quite pricey. It could be that a trademark might protect you best and possibly a licensing agreement or particular share structure between you and your partners. Feel free to contact me for a free consultation.
