Intellectual Property Law

Copyright

Copyrights are the lynchpin of many businesses.  With the growth of the worldwide Internet and some popular views currently shifting against copyright owners, copyright protection has become even more critical.  Technological advances also have led to important and ongoing changes in copyright law.

We have a dedicated and seasoned copyright practice, with experience in district courts throughout the country, the U.S. Copyright Office, and the U.S. Customs Service.  We work with our clients to evaluate strengths and weaknesses and to develop the most enduring and comprehensive method of protecting their valuable works.  We help clients avoid trial when prudent.  We also aggressively litigate when copyrights are threatened or questioned.

Our experience is broad, including all types of media, entertainment, literary works, film and video, photographs, audio recordings, music, broadcast, software, data bases, Internet, technical and architectural designs, merchandising, and sculptures, including toys.

We have technical expertise, which enables us to advise our clients in matters related to computer software, data security, and digital rights management.  We also assist clients with registering copyrights, performing title searches, expediting applications, and recording documents.
