MS Access Copyright

[cepolly]

What is the name of your state? Florida

I’ve tried to find an answer to my dilemma, but have not been able to receive anything definitive.

My question is this:

If Company ‘A’ creates a Software Application, in MS Access, for Company ‘B’ at the request of Company B, and on Company B’s premises, using Company B’s equipment, Does the Copyright belong to Company A or to Company B?

There is no written agreement, e.g. - Work-for-Hire. There was a verbal agreement between Company A (Programmer) and Company B (CEO, an Administrator and Tech Consultant)

Please let me know your reasoning as well.

Thanks very much in advance.

Company B paid for the services, the result belongs to them.
