Copyrights

Copyright protects the original expression behind software, written content, art, music, film, and design. We help creators and companies understand what they own, secure their rights, and put the agreements in place to keep ownership clear. We advise on authorship and ownership, assignments and licensing, work-for-hire and contractor arrangements, registration where strategically useful, and the moral rights that accompany creative work. For technology companies, we focus on the copyright issues that surround source code, open-source compliance, and content platforms. When works are copied or misused, we enforce copyright through demand letters, takedown procedures, and litigation — working to stop the infringement and recover value.
