Question

Hi,

We are a US company that license software. A chinese company is interested in licensing our sofware and they are going to build an iphone and android application to put in the market world-wide. My questions are:

1) Do I have any limitations for export control?
2) Which are the countries that the commerce control list does not allow to do business with?
3) How do I protect myself legally if this company does business with contries that are not allowed (e.g., Iran)?

thanks

I recommend talking with an attorney on this. This not an easy question to answer without asking a whole host of other questions.

One thing you can look at is the terms of service for iphone and android- they have terms that help speak to this issue.

Thanks,
Madhu
