Copyrights
Our Intellectual Property, Media & Technology lawyers represent clients in the entertainment, computer software and publishing industries. Our litigators have been responsible for handling high profile cases relating to cutting edge issues and have represented the major entertainment companies in copyright matters at trial and before appellate courts. The Firm's copyright practice has focused on issues as diverse as motion pictures, music, computer software and new copying technology. We have been ranked among the leading trademark and copyright firms in Managing Intellectual Property's annual survey of the world's leading IP firms.
In addition, our lawyers have worked in-house in the software industry in which analysis of complex copyright ownership, development and licensing issues occurs day-to-day. We recognize and resolve "crossover" copyright issues that arise in employment, licensing and trade secret matters. We handle pre-release clearance of motion picture and music content, multimedia products and music licensing in negotiations with the major performing rights societies, as well as individual music publishers. Additionally, our lawyers assist clients in setting up internal copyright registration programs and employee policies for use and clearance of third-party works.
