Copyright law

Copyright matters also form a significant part of our work. Our lawyers have substantial experience in protecting copyrights in such varied industries as toys, artwork, cartoon characters, fabric designs, fashion accessories, architectural design, musical recordings, literary works, technology, and advertising and packaging materials. We advise clients on a wide range of copyright matters affected by ever-changing copyright laws, including registration, infringement, (and avoiding infringement), as well as negotiating and preparing development, licensing, publishing, and other agreements.

The diverse skills and scientific backgrounds of our intellectual property lawyers, many with engineering and computer science degrees, add to our experience in the area of copyright protection for scientific material. Our lawyers effectively manage the protection and licensing of computer-related technology, including source code and executable programs along with the associated instruction and operating manuals. As a group we have a long and extensive history of litigating and trying all types of copyright cases.
