What legal steps should we take before releasing an app?

Question

We are group of developers who are currently developing an Android app. Before we release it, which legal steps would you recommend for us to take? For instance, should we protect the app logo or its name as a trademark and/or should we form an LLC to market it as a product? Thank you for your help in advance, we appreciate it!

Although trademark protection is always recommended, I advise you to focus on what is a priority for you..."the app itself". I could not give you specific information about Software protection in the U.S. but generally speaking it is necessary to draft an End User License Agreement (EULA) where you can set the ground rules for user when they are using your app. In this EULA it is important to include terms for Privacy, Intellectual Property, Warranties, Updates, Minimum System Requirements, Cloud Storage (if it is the case), Technical Support, Disclaimers, and more.
