Copyright Law

Federal copyright registration offers many important benefits you should be aware of. The numerous hours put into creating your hard work and intellectual property may be lost if don’t adequately protect it. Federal registration allows you to control and enforce ownership of that creative work and the right to recover statutory damages and attorney fees are only available to properly registered owners.

Copyright Protection Fees

We have worked with writers, photographers, software developers, musicians and artists to properly copyright their work. Our network of lawyers have litigated copyright claims on behalf of plaintiffs and defendants. We always seek to provide our contacts the most cost-effective solution to their legal issues. In most cases, the attorneys we work with can provide you with a flat-fee quote for registration and offer many alternative fee arrangements for cases that will need to be litigated.

Types of Intellectual Property Protection

There are several types of Intellectual Property protection:

• Copyrights – these protect original works of authorship, such as literary works, music, dramatic works, pantomimes and choreographic works, sculptural, pictorial, and graphic works, sound recordings, artistic works, architectural works, and computer software. With copyright protection, the holder has the exclusive rights to modify, distribute, perform, create, display, and copy the work.

• Patents – A utility, design, or plant patent grants property rights on an invention, allowing the patent holder to exclude others from making, selling, or using the invention. Inventions allow many businesses to be successful because they develop new or better processes or products that offer competitive advantage on the marketplace. You get a patent by filing a patent application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

• Trademarks – A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design that distinguishes the source of products (trademarks) or services (service marks) of one business from its competitors. In order to qualify for patent protection, the mark must be distinctive. Although rights in trademarks are acquired by use, registration with the USPTO allows you to more easily enforce those rights.

• Trade Secrets – A trade secret is a formula, process, device, or other business information that companies keep private to give them a business advantage over their competitors.
