Copyright Symbols by Mike Seyfang
Copyright
Copyright protects original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium. If you are a writer, musician, photographer, or artist, you deserve to have your work protected. If you have a business, you likely have copyrightable works on your website, in your software code, & other places.
We will work with you to identify what copyrightable works you have & to create a strategy to protect them, which may include registering your works with the United States Copyright Office. We will also draft & negotiate licensing agreements on your behalf to maximize the financial benefits of your works.
If your work is on the internet, you may find yourself in a situation where someone has copied your work without your permission. We will help you protect your rights with cease-&-desist letters & Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown notices.
If you or the service that hosts your online content receive a takedown notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the content in question must be removed; however, if you did not commit copyright infringement, you can have your work and your rights restored with a counter takedown notice.
Trademark
A trademark is the mark you use to distinguish your goods or services from your competition. It can be any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination, that is used or that you intend to use in commerce. If another company uses a mark that is confusingly similar to your mark, you have options to defend your rights in your trademark. We will create a strategy to maximizing the protection and financial benefits of your mark through registration, use, and licensing. We can maximize the protection for your mark by registering your mark with the United States Patent & Trademark Office.
