Trusting any company with your idea is not easy but here are the steps we take to foster it
The most important thing about an idea is that it is yours. To ensure that your idea is protected without being misused, we take IP rights seriously. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Intellectual Property Center has calculated the worth of intellectual property in the United States and ranges between $5 trillion and $5.5 trillion. We have been able to make strong client relationships on the basis of trust and here is how to we build it.
Once you share your idea with us, we will be handling it with great care. It will only be handled by the team that works on it and no one else. Agencies often choose to outsource their development through other cheaper means, preferably cheaper and in turn, compromise your intellectual property where they have no control over how it’s going to be used. This makes them cheap middlemen that service clients on the front end, while some other company does your work. Clearly this is not how a tech company works. In addition, ownership of code and this property becomes very dubious. Thus, Apps Fuel maintains work ethics that ensure complete security of your ideas as well as product.
Apps Fuel begins its process by signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement rather than getting into discussions. With this, we ensure you that the property belongs to you and we will be simply helping it to evolve. The agreement itself has a template that is vetted by IP rights experts, and legal corporate departments for some of the biggest tech players in the industry for added assurance.
Organizations may face a profound problem if one, or more employees on the development team or elsewhere go rogue, and decide to work on your project. We ensure that this does not happen with our special employee non-compete agreements that legally bind them and ensure that your idea remains 100% safe. These are also vetted by some of the biggest names in the IP enforcement scenario.
We made our living based on entrepreneurial ideas and startups (over 100 to be exact) and the trust our clients gave us. We would have lost many millions of dollars stealing any client’s idea – not to mention the reputation we have managed to build. So, you can see that this is not even remotely an option for us.
We believe in taking extensive security measures on all fronts, since we’re guarding what can potentially be multi-billion dollar ideas. From the physical security measures and protocol at the gate, to the locked servers, project management tools and dynamic levels of encryption, we leave no stone unturned to ensure security at every step. All communication about project sensitive ideas also takes place on secure channels, and verified tools.
