I was first asked to create a book for a company where he worked. (a history of your company, actually).
I understand that if you have to write a book on working time - and time spent doing and then they are the copyright and is part of their work - have been ordered to do - is if it is paid as a journalist for a newspaper , or someone who works in advertising, writing, writing propaganda. (Or, the costs incurred to buy, such as additional food, photography, etc.) The rights you have, in the sense that no one remaining to change what you wrote (eg, your changes prescription without a permit) and that recognized his name as author on the page. A society must ask you to sign those rights - which is essential and not you. If you do not respect these rights. See the first link in the Source list.
If you pay to enter the working post, depending on the contract. And I must say that you will need a written contract to avoid any possibility ofProblems in the future. In it, the situation has changed jobs to another hotel and what happens with the publication must be clearly defined.
If you have a draft contract, as you know it well? Visit the second link, a law firm to ensure that the contract of the authors and verify that you are the best deal for a lump sum of 200 pounds. Sounds good, but perhaps worth it.
Alternatively, you can explore an agent. If you are in London, would be the easiest to join the London Book Fair, 14-16 April. These costs could include up to 25 pounds on a (not clear) Looking at the site from the list of exhibitors. See books published by the respect and your stand on Dont look too busy. You can use a little surprised by the cheeks, but you get lots of information and assistance from a conversation of 5 minutes - even if they themselves are not interested, ask if they can recommend someone to someone else, is or will advise you on issues increase. I was there in the past, and most people are very nice and Helpful.
Finally, if the hotel receives this publication - to use them? Are they a good reputation. Questions about a book that has recently seen similar to what they offer. Are not part of the money - called vanity publishing - which means that they end up selling with a closet full of books that one has no incentive to.
Good luck!
Contact a Attourney intellectual property, if you leave your boss, without a contract explaining the rights of publicity, could eventually be prosecuted for using their own recipes. There is also the publishing rights for the mass market, the copyright, whos job is to enforce the copyright and license fees has.
I did not write the book, and if not written, then you have a case of unfair dismissal, which the recipes that do not share with anyone, and if you are so well preserved that writing and the book itself in this way You get all the copyrights and do not have not been able to take care to use them again.
If you decide to write a good lawyer by his side, of course, is worth it!
You need a good lawyer. I'm sure that made a separate contract for such a business together in such a way that their interests could be protected.
Otherwise, simply, the cookbook and the contents that belong to the hotel alone. Flog it can continue long after your departure. If you have only the turnover in the hotel in advance to be used, would be a different matter. You should consider how it is prepared to withdraw.
Tell him he can the Commission ... Without you, there is no cookbook! It takes more than necessary!
Food is a sensitive issue, for example,
Who has the recipe for shepherd's pie?
a bit basic, but I know what I mean.
Thus, for example, which had a restaurant, and served a few dishes that I fraudulently, a cookbook?
Dont think so - even if I get a little tape on to change it! I am a graphic designer in our industry and we know that many ideas are copied from the other! The exchange of ideas is the right way. Even our own lack of honesty!
For this reason, ideas are expensive!
So we must ask what are your ideas / recipes! Because if you're here, are gone!
, Use to change the people's need - the continuous cycle. So if you have the opportunity to earn some money and then do it, but it's so happy.
Would you be happy with 20% profit or 70%? Remember, the contents of his book, that counts - and that the content andour!
If you are not satisfied then captured, their recipes for a different time.
But remember one thing ...
The experiences and opportunities are the two most precious things in life. Without these you will never make money!
You should consider this;
Value of experience + possible oppurtunity like this
against
the price of your product (original Recipe)
I say its ok to get paid a little less if one of the oppurtunity and experience ...
but remember VALUE YOUR IDEAS no originality, no content.
PS in terms of rights, I am no lawyer, but his recipes are negligible openly (for example, how do I tell someone, change, etc.) the chance to find someone exactly the same recipe print are thin ... And why wouldnt wouldnt be original and yours.
Find a lawyer - then the patent a recipe?
I think the best thing is to talk to a lawyer. Sounds like an honor to have made your recipes in a cookbook, but you can never be too careful. People with such gaps and May, you sign away to remember the rights of their jobs without it. So go see a lawyer.
No, do not get it with them, if not then, but if someone, whose statistics they are, then they can sue for fraud to identity theft! So, if you do not feel comfortable with him, no!
If I were you - I want to get professional legal representation.
Looks like you are worth!
Good on you!
There are some things that you can do here.
1) Letter from the cookbook and give their best efforts in the intellectual property of all. Before he was a secret, but be sure to keep a contract with his chief, which explicitly states that 100% of the rights to information. In the state in which the licensed content of the book in exchange for a commission. Make sure that the Commission is sorry for you.
2) Recipes post, but can be a component or a sub in another drug or leave a technique, so it is not so good. They also want a contract in this case and in similar fashion # 1
3) refuse and say they do not prefer to spread their "Secret Sauce". I doubt it can not shoot you do this because it is not part of their work .. but can make your life difficult.
What do you know depends on you .. If you are for items 1 or 2 to help a good contract / intellectual property lawyer on your side to help you. With No. 3, you may want to hire a lawyer for the job.
I am aI am sure that your boss can not escape the terms of the debate and reach a solution to both be satisfied. If not, then perhaps you should look elsewhere, or thoughts on your own display, so you do not share them on the fruits of their labor.
