Securing Your Intellectual Property Rights
I have devoted a significant portion of my law firm to protecting my clients' intellectual property rights over copyrights and trademarks.
Careful planning and protection of intellectual property assets often prevents costly litigation down the line. As your copyright lawyer, I will help you take steps to properly register and protect your copyrights with the appropriate federal or state authority.
If you have employees or hire independent contractors, I will help you make sure you have the proper work-for-hire agreements in place to ensure that you own the intellectual property created at your direction. This often arises in the context of website development and creation deals.
Finally, to obtain trade secret status, the law requires the implementation of certain business procedures and practices. I am experienced in advising businesses on implementing such procedures for the protection of trade secrets.
Protecting Your Copyrights Through Litigation
I have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in cutting-edge copyright infringement cases involving sales of pirated goods on the Internet and ownership of proprietary computer source code. In addition, I have significant experience in traditional forms of infringement relating to film, music, television and literature. Finally, I have served as a trial lawyer in a number of cases relating to products and goods originating overseas.
My experience in intellectual property has expanded into entertainment law. I represent screenwriters, musicians and music publishing companies in copyright infringement cases. I also advocate for entertainment companies in high-stakes copyright royalty cases involving both music and television rights.
I have gained a particular niche representing software companies and individuals in various trade secret and infringement cases relating to proprietary software and the ownership of such software.
