Copyright Ownership
In general, the creator of a work is the first owner of copyright. Key exceptions include works created in the course of employment, commissioned works, and government works.
Works created in employment — the employer is typically the first owner.
Commissioned works — ownership is subject to agreement between the parties.
Government works — copyright vests in the government.
Enforcement
- Issuing cease and desist letters
- Filing civil suits for damages, injunctions, and delivery up of infringing materials
- Online content takedown and removal
- Coordinating with enforcement authorities for counterfeiting and piracy matters
In the digital age, protecting creative works is essential. We provide practical, timely advice to ensure your intellectual property rights are upheld.
