Games

Rob,

Those are sound facts ot be aware of so thanks for sharing them. But, John raised an interesting and valid point. What do you do if legal counsel is advising *not* to sign a NDA?

Is there a middle ground or creative approach so both the new inventor and the company approached (e.g prototype manufacturer, etc.) are protected?

Thanks for your input,

Charles.

This question has probably been put to rest by now. However, a further two
cents worth for the archive:

Generally, game concepts are not marketable to game publishers until they
have been fleshed out (prototyped), i.e. at least partially coded. Game publishers deal primarily with developer (code or programming) studios and
if that is where the client wants to take her idea, it would best be covered
with a Non-Disclosure Agreement. A simple NDA would provide that the developer or team to whom the work is being presented understands that copyright in the work belongs to the presenter and that anything presented
will be kept confidential.
