Q. House rental lease ends jan 31 realtor wants to show house now with covid spikes can they legally show the house

December 31, 2020

A: This is a question coming across a lot of lawyer's desks, but there doesn't seem to be a strict answer yet. Maybe you and your landlord can agree to only do virtual showings. Check your contract to see if it says how and when they can show the house.

You may want to hire an attorney to negotiate on your behalf with your landlord.

Q. If someone retypes my contract, different font same words then signs, is this legal and his property, not mine?

December 22, 2020

A: I'm not totally sure what you are asking here. But it doesn't seem like there is a clear cut answer. Did you write the original contract from scratch? Did you give the contract to them for some reason? An attorney would need more information to determine how to proceed.

Q. What is the status of applications and databases developed without an intellectual property assignment agreement?

December 22, 2020

A: You should definitely speak with an attorney about your situation before signing anything. My guess is they're asking you to sign the assignment because they don't know who really owns it and want a quick way to get it over with. As Marcos said, you may or may not have a work for hire agreement in place from when you first signed on. There are lots of maybes here. Definitely reach out to an IP attorney for a better answer.
