Q: Is there a way to protect my App project before I assign a firm to design and create the app?
A: The short answer is yes. However, you will need to seek the advise of a trademark and patent attorney to get advise on this question. Your situation is highly detailed and highly specialized. There is likely a contributor attorney on this site that might know the answer to your question, but I doubt that anyone can give you proper advise as typically this type of situation has a lot of moving parts and the trademark and patent attorney will likely need to have a lot of details before he or she can give you an opinion.
