Copyrights

Copyrights protect "original works of authorship," including computer software, books, plays, music and other artistic works. We have experience in federal courts throughout the country in matters involving computer code books and book publishing, music, lyrics, screenplays, graphic design, maps and other works, and we have successfully prosecuted and defended several claims of copyright infringement.

We have also represented clients in numerous issues involving cutting-edge copyright issues on the Internet.

For example, we have litigated copyright disputes involving:

  • Television Series
  • Popular Music Lyrics
  • Performance of Copyrighted Songs
  • Derivative Works of Comedy Performances
  • Rights to Video Packaging of Athletic Contests
  • Software
  • Book Publishing
  • Maps
  • Computer System Documentation
  • Employment Screening Tests
  • Academic Textbooks
  • Textiles and Home Furnishings
  • Carpet Design
