How Can A Farmington Hills Copyright Lawyer Help My Business?

Copyright law is a series of statutes that govern the protection of original creative works, from a computer program to a painting. These laws also cover how a creator can permit the use of creative works and when these works are not legally protected (such as “open use” designations). A copyright lawyer reviews these laws with you and explains the protections your work has – and when the use or reproduction of your work isn’t covered by Michigan or federal laws. Our firm offers conscientious insight into your options and steps to take for maximum protection of your intellectual property (IP). Some of the services we provide include:

• Transfer of rights from individuals or entities
• Copyright infringement litigation
• Determination of ownership
• Licensing and distribution options and rights, including contract review
• DMCA take-down letters
• Copyright disputes, including Breach of Contract
• Copyright due diligence and registration

As skilled contract lawyers, we can draft use contracts on your behalf, ensuring that your rights are protected and that the contract is favorable to you financially and as a creator. We also review any contracts you’re presented with, ensuring that the terms are fair and the action is in line with your preferences for using and distributing your IP.

Protecting Your Constitutional Property Rights

Did you know that authors and other creators of original works have property rights protected by the U.S. Constitution? If a creative work is produced by a team, then all team members are equally entitled to the rights and protections of ownership. It’s important to review any documents regarding your creations before you sign them. Many times, we have seen clients whose IP rights were transferred or otherwise lost in unfair or deliberately confusing agreements. Should your creation be collaborative, we can help construct legal protections to preserve your rights and give you opportunities should other collaborators wish to sell or transfer their property rights. These are just a few of the IP legal services that a Farmington Hills copyright lawyer can provide. We get to know you, your creation, and your goals, then explain the legal ways we can help you achieve them. At Trademark Lawyer Law Firm, we’re beside you the whole way, preserving your integrity and hard work. Contact us today for a consultation.
