Legal Question in Technology Law in New York

Of course, no one here can offer any conclusions and if this is of serious concern, all you can do at this point is to have your own lawyer conduct a proper evaluation of the matter and offer a best course of action.

That said, and without any written agreement, while she would retain the underlying IP rights to her creative [removed]the designs, etc.), you received an implied license by operation of law to use these designs for their intended purpose and she does not now enjoy the right to take them back. That is not how it works. Further, she cannot do anything to frustrate your use of this material such as compete with you or license the same designs to a competitor. If she has some dispute regards to payment for these services that is a different question and one that will fall back to contract law. There could be nuances in play here that may make a difference as well.

The recommended approach to this situation is to have a lawyer conduct a case/matter analysis and send her a written response letting her know where you stand legally. You cannot rely on my cursory understanding of your situation.

If you would like to discuss further over a free phone consult, feel free to contact me anytime that is convenient.

Kind regards,
