Common Questions
Intellectual property questions Shelburne clients often ask.
Should a Shelburne business check a name before selling online?
Yes. Online sales can increase visibility and conflict risk, so names, domains, marketplace listings, and registration options should be reviewed.
Who owns product photos taken by a contractor?
The contract, licence language, assignment terms, payment records, and usage permissions should be reviewed.
Can a customer list be protected after an employee leaves?
It depends on confidentiality terms, how the list was developed, access controls, and how the information was used.
