Copyrights

Copyrights protect creative expression in the form of literary, artistic, musical, cinematographic, photographic and other works. Though copyright protection is automatic on creation of a work, registration of a copyright offers several advantages in enforcing one’s copyrights. In today’s world of opportunities, especially in the internet/digital realm, several avenues of generating revenue are available to creators and content owners.

Having registered hundreds of copyrights for our clients, our team of copyright attorneys are adept at helping clients file and acquire copyright registrations with ease. Our work with the entertainment and publishing industries over the last decade has given us a insight into licensing and other copyright contract issues. This enables us to offer value-added license/contract drafting and negotiation services. In addition to helping clients manage copyright litigation efficiently, our team also helps clients strategize dispute resolution to arrive at amicable settlements.
