We see it over and over. Companies with an "engineering department" where their star engineers creativity is stifled yet their candles burn at both ends. They are given unreasonable deadlines and expected to meet them, yet they never do, because their management knows their engineering teams are too busy to plan and underqualified to estimate effort. This is what we do. We're engineers adapted to the demands of business. Yet we know what’s hiding under the porch: the rot, the snakes, the structural cracks others won’t shine a light on.

I get asked this question all the time. "Do we own the source code when you're done?" It's generally the main focus when working out the contract. The assignnent language has been fully fleshed out by dozens of IP attorneys, so I'm confident it is being done properly, as are my clients. No fast-ones, no hidden licenses, no bullshit.

When you are engaging with an engineering firm before you disclose your ideas, especially if you want them protected, the first thing you should always ask for is to sign a non-disclosure and confidentiality agreement before you provide details about your ideas. Sometimes this is called a NDA, a CDA, a MNDA, or NDCA depending on the specific terms.
