How to legitimize the rights to an android project and prevent the idea from being stolen?

Question

Android

There is a good idea for an android application.
The competitor is literally one, but developed.
But the idea is a much better solution than the competition.
If I hire a programmer or a freelance developer to develop android, well, plus maybe a designer to help, maybe a tester, then how to comply with the legal side of the project so that the idea is not stolen?
After all, even a programmer takes technical specifications and disappears, and then he implements all this for himself and smokes on the sidelines with a big bag of money based on the results of his work, seeing that the idea works.
How does all this work from the point of view of the laws of the Russian Federation? How is it organized under international law? After all, Google Play is not a Russian office
, thanks for the discussion and answers, dear developers and lawyers

Answer 1

You can't steal an idea. You cannot steal a non-material entity. Read the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation)))
Programs, stories, images, films and other works are regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, in the part that describes copyright and licensing.
But even here - the idea - does not fall under either licensing or patenting.
Using someone else's idea is not theft. Here is the declaration of oneself as the author of the idea - this is already closer to theft, but still not theft - you still have the idea - you haven’t forgotten it, have you? ))
Now about practice. Works - which is a program - you can protect with the help of licensing. The copyright for the program created by the employee belongs to the employer/customer (you only need to pay them, otherwise it will be debatable). And then copyright comes into play.
You can protect your program from unlicensed copying, modification, distribution. Or patent the algorithm if you can work your idea into a specific algorithm. And patenting ideas is, excuse me, insanity from the field of Pindos legal practice. In terms of Russian patenting, it is not so bad yet. not senile people are sitting (for example, the snarlers were not allowed to patent the "tablet shape", which, you see, is correct).
But you cannot forbid someone to create something that repeats the functions of your product, your program.
Sitting and writing your program on one monitor while looking at a proprietary program on another monitor is the official recommendation for writing licensed clean "duplicates" of software from the Free Software Foundation. For this is how the "legal purity of the created program" is observed.
Therefore, do not engage in garbage such as this time we will do it and we will rot everyone with patents. If your program is good, then they will legally make a fairly functional clone of it.
Bring your key business idea into the real world - provide services at a good level, organize processes more optimally, talk more politely with the customer, and so on and so forth. - be the first among such.
And people will choose you, not likenesses.

Answer 2

Simply organized.
Everything that the employee creates during working hours and/or with the use of the employer's facilities/equipment belongs to the employer, unless otherwise agreed in the employment contract.
If you can prove that your know-how -> sue the loot.
Nobody canceled the NDA in the contract either.
But it is worth recognizing that your idea is not worth anything. Straight at all. Because it's not the idea that brings the money.
Money brings a combination of ideas, implementation and promotion of this implementation. At the same time, the cost of the idea itself is no more than 1% of the project cost.
The exception is science-intensive solutions.

Answer 3

No way. Is this answer okay?
And indeed, reliably and guaranteed - no way.
But most likely this is not necessary - it is unlikely that the developer will be interested in another idea with which they are contacted 7 times a week. Even if she is truly brilliant, no one will be able to distinguish her from the rest of the same before she really takes off.
In general, the idea for an application or service is like Elusive Joe.

Answer 4

From the point of view of the legislation of the Russian Federation, this is protected in FIPS (Federal Institute of Industrial Property). An idea can be protected by filing a patent for a utility model (quite quickly and relatively simply and inexpensively) or a patent for an invention (which is more complicated, longer and more expensive).

Apparently, either Tor Broswer is already infected, or your computer. The script is trying to download and run some file.
