While sometimes overlooked, issues dealing with copyrights have increased in visibility with the rise of the internet and are currently at the cutting edge of intellectual property law. Copyrights offer legal protection for original works of authorship against unlawful copying from someone else.  Copyrights grant exclusive rights to reproduce, produce derivative works, distribute, and perform or display the work in public. 

Copyrights are generally creative in nature and protection is usually not extended to useful or functional goods.  Some representative copyrightable works include works of art (paintings, drawings, sculpture etc.), recorded music, videos, motion pictures, written materials (books, articles etc.), architectural works, software code, and graphical works.

We offer a wide range of copyright services including registration with the Library of Congress, work for hire and assignment agreements, and conflict resolution.
