Law Services

Protecting your creative works is important. 

Copyright Basics

What is Copyright?

Copyright law is a legal framework that grants protection to original works of authorship, such as books, paintings, music, and software. The moment your work is fixed in a tangible medium—whether in writing, film, or audio—it is automatically protected under copyright law services. This protection allows you to control how your work is copied, distributed, or transformed, which is where an intellectual property lawyer comes in.

 

Examples of copyrighted works include:

  • Written works (books, blogs, poems)

  • Musical compositions

  • Photographs and visual art

  • Films and videos

  • Digital content (software, websites)

Exclusive Rights Under Copyright Law

As a copyright lawyer, I help protect your exclusive rights under copyright law, which include:

  • Reproduction: You have the exclusive right to make copies of your work, whether it's through physical duplication (like printing copies of a book) or digital reproduction (such as sharing music files).

  • Distribution: You control how and where your work is distributed, including selling or giving copies to the public through various channels (e.g., bookstores, streaming platforms, etc.).

  • Public Performance: You are the only one authorized to perform your work in public, whether that’s a live performance of music or a public screening of a movie you’ve created.

  • Derivative Works: You have the right to create new works based on your original creation, such as sequels to a book or adaptations of a story into a film.

  • Public Display: You control how your work is displayed to the public, such as showcasing artwork in a gallery or posting photos online.

 

If you're looking to understand more about your copyright law services or how to protect your rights, contacting a copyright infringement lawyer can help ensure your intellectual property is fully secure.

Copyright Registration: Why It Matters

  • While copyright protection is automatic, registering your work with the U.S. Copyright Office provides several benefits, including:

  • The ability to file a copyright infringement lawsuit

  • The right to recover statutory damages

  • Establishing a public record of your ownership

  • If you’re looking for a “copyright lawyer near me,” I can guide you through this process to ensure your creative works are fully protected through a virtual consultation.

Common Copyright Disputes and Infringement

Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses your work without authorization. As a copyright dispute attorney, I have seen infringement cases involving:

  • Reproduction: Making unauthorized copies of your book or software.

  • Distribution: Sharing or selling your music or visual art without permission.

  • Public Performance: Playing your song at a concert or screening your film without obtaining a license.

  • Derivative Works: Creating a film adaptation of your novel without your consent.

  • Public Display: Posting your artwork online or displaying your photography in public spaces without permission.

 

If your copyright has been violated, I can help you strategize a lawsuit for a copyright litigation attorney to file. Remedies for copyright infringement include:

  • Statutory damages (up to $150,000 per infringement)

  • Actual damages based on the market value of the work

  • Injunctions to stop further use of the work

  • Attorneys’ fees and court costs

Fair Use and Defenses Against Copyright Infringement

The "fair use" doctrine allows limited use of copyrighted works without permission. However, determining whether fair use applies can be complex. As a copyright defense lawyer, I will assess if a fair use defense applies to your case or represent your interests if you’ve been accused of infringement.

In some cases, defenses like fair use, independent creation, or authorized use may be raised. I can provide expert copyright legal advice to navigate these defenses effectively.
