Copyright Registrations and Terminations
Copyright law prohibits the unauthorized use of someone’s original work. A work is automatically protected by copyright as soon as it is created and fixed in a tangible form. However, creators may want to consider registering their copyright to obtain additional advantages for effectively enforcing their rights against infringers.
Trademark Infringement
A trademark is a word, symbol, design, slogan, or phrase that serves as a source identifier. It helps consumers recognize and differentiate the goods or services offered by one business from those of others. Businesses often invest substantial resources in their branding efforts to establish a stronger source identifier for their products or services. Trademark law sets guidelines for creating a valid mark and empowers owners to protect their rights against those who try to use their trademarks or similar marks that could confuse consumers or weaken their brand value. As business owners, it is crucial to safeguard and enforce your trademark rights against potential infringers.
Copywriter Infringement
Copyright law acknowledges the rights of creators to safeguard their original works from unauthorized use by others. Consequently, individuals who exploit copyrighted material without permission face considerable legal consequences. Nevertheless, it’s important to note that not all creations are eligible for copyright protection, and there exist various defenses against claims of copyright infringement.
