Los Angeles Copyright Infringement Lawyers Stop Intellectual Property Theft
Copyright law protects owners who invest the time and money into original expressions of work. Business lawyer Robert G. Klein provides businesses with specialized legal attention regarding complex intellectual property law to end theft and copyright infringement. He will begin work immediately to stop the reproduction or sale of the copyrighted materials and will demand monetary damages for the infringement.
How Does an Owner Secure a Copyright to an Original Work?
Copyrightable works include literary, musical, dramatic, choreographic, pictorial, graphic, audiovisual, sound and architectural materials. Copyright law protects owners from infringement from the moment of the work’s creation through the life of the author plus 70 years.
Unlike trademarks, it is unnecessary to register your copyright. However, notice and registration of a copyright is highly recommended. You can file a notice with the U.S. Copyright Office to alert the public as to the work’s owner, year of publication and copyright protection.
What is Copyright Infringement?
The owner of a copyright has exclusive rights to the original work. Copyright infringement occurs when another person, business or entity:
- Copies the work;
- Makes derivative works based on the original;
- Distributes or sells the work;
- Performs the work in public;
- Displays the work in public; or
- Plays or performs copyrighted audio material.
