As a partner in a small partnership I coded software line by line. The other partner had suggested ideas. Who owns the software IP?
The business is in investment management. The software has trading models and strategies. There was no LPA regarding IP, because we didn't think of this issue nor was it planned for me to develop software. Now the business is being terminated, IP potentially becomes an issue. Are ideas part of trade secrets protected by DTSA? Please help.

Need help with an intellectual property issue where our 501 (C) (3) has been notified we need to pay for license
We--Heart 4 Children Ministries-- received a letter in the mail from PicRights requiring Heart 4 Children Ministries, Inc pay a license fee of $1245.00 for past usage of an image. The letter stated that removal of the image will not satisfy the issue. We contacted the number on the letter and got the voice mail of the compliance officer. We left a voice mail, however no one has yet responded to our voice mail. We attempted a second call but it also went to voice mail. The image has been removed.
