Copyright

Copyright protects original literary, dramatic, musical and other artistic works. If you obtain a copyright to protect a particular piece of work, you then have the right to reproduce it, prepare derivative works based on it, distribute it, perform it publicly, and display it publicly. Sometimes, a copyright is not the best way to protect your intellectual property. If you want to protect an invention or the goodwill associated with your product, a patent or a trademark will be a better option. We will help you determine which legal process is the appropriate means to protect your work. Our copyright services include:

• Copyright registrations
• Joint authorship
• Work-for-hire and contract work agreements
• Representation in copyright infringement disputes
