A very large corporation has just trade marked a logo I have designed for them as a sub brand. I had no idea they were going to do this, we had not discussed ownership, I have n't yet even invoice them for the work as yet. As I said they are a large corporation with their own in house legal team.
I think this is very cheeky and currently (i believe) the artwork belongs to me even once they have paid for it unless they want to buy out my rights.
would any one be able to shed some light on my dilemma? I would be most grateful...
I would recommend setting up a business account even though you are a sole trader. It makes life so much more straight forward to separate personal finances with business finances. Natwest I think are currently offering a free business account for the 1st 2 years. hope that helps...
Oh and you may have a client pay by cheque and more often that not, they will automatically make it payable to the company name. this will save you having to go back and ask for it to be re written.
