Copyrights

Today’s information-driven economy has generated countless new forms of valuable copyrightable property, and has extended the scope of copyright laws to technologies that were never envisioned when these laws were enacted.

Clients rely on us for guidance on critical issues relating to the ownership and protection of copyrights arising from a wide range of works produced by employees, contractors and consultants—from software, industrial designs, technical manuals and advertising materials to catalogs, data sheets and original art. We also advise on novel Internet-related matters involving hyperlinking, deep-linking, framing, content protection and online music distribution, and represent clients in increasingly frequent software piracy and unauthorized use disputes.
