Frequently Asked Questions

What does a copyright lawyer do?

As copyright lawyers, we specialize in the area of law that involves the protection of creative works, such as books, music, and art. We can help you register your work, enforce your rights, and issue Cease & Desist letters when necessary.

How can you help me protect my creative work?

We can assist you in registering your work with the U.S. Copyright Office, which gives you a public record of your copyright and the ability to sue for copyright infringement. We’ll also educate you on your rights and how you can enforce them.

How long does copyright protection last?

In most cases, copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the creator plus an additional 70 years. However, the duration may vary for works created by corporations or anonymous authors.

What are the benefits of copyright registration?

Copyright registration provides a public record of your work, making it easier to prove ownership. It also allows you to pursue statutory damages and attorney’s fees in case of infringement.

What is copyright?

Copyright is a form of intellectual property law that protects original works of authorship including literary, musical, and artistic works. It does not protect ideas, facts, or systems, but rather the way in which these things are expressed.

Do I have to register my work to have copyright protection?

No, copyright protection is automatic upon the creation of your work. However, registering your work can offer additional legal benefits, such as the ability to sue for statutory damages and attorney’s fees.

What is "Fair Use"?

Fair use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research.

What is the difference between a copyright and a trademark?

While copyright protects original works of authorship, a trademark protects words, phrases, symbols, or designs that identify the source of goods or services.

What can be copyrighted?

Works that can be copyrighted include literary works, music, lyrics, photographs, sculptures, choreography, and computer software, among others.

What cannot be copyrighted?

Ideas, facts, systems, or methods of operation are not eligible for copyright. Additionally, works that are not fixed in a tangible form (like improvised performances that are not written or recorded) cannot be copyrighted.

How long does copyright last?

The duration of copyright varies based on several factors, including when the work was created and the circumstances of its creation. However, for works created after January 1, 1978, copyright generally lasts for the life of the author plus 70 years.

Can I use copyrighted material if I give credit to the author?

Merely giving credit to the author does not automatically grant you permission to use their work. You generally need to get explicit permission to use copyrighted material.

How do I enforce my copyright?

If someone is infringing on your copyright, you have various options including sending a cease and desist letter, filing a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown notice, or taking legal action.
