Our practice group serves individuals and entities seeking advice and counseling about how to best protect and defend their valuable creative works.
We counsel individuals and entities on copyright registration and protection, negotiate and draft copyright license agreements and prosecute and defend our clients' copyrights in court and through alternative dispute resolution when copyright disputes arise.
We have worked with a wide variety of stakeholders across copyright matters (computer programmers, artists, musicians, and employers whose employees may have created copyrightable content belonging to the organization), and we are able to draw on this experience to efficiently and effectively address potential copyright issues before they arise. We also have a proven track record of successfully representing our clients in high-stakes copyright infringement litigation.
