520 _aExplains that commissioning a website without paying due attention to the intellectual property rights relating to its design is fraught with pitfalls. Companies can find that it is the web developer who owns the copyright on their websites and not them. Discusses the concepts of authorship and ownership in this situation, the very limited intellectual property rights a company actually has and the different licence agreements for bespoke and off-the-shelf software. Recommends having a detailed licence agreement between the company and the developer in place before any work is carried out, thus ensuring the company's rights in the software from the beginning.
