As with Patents and Trademarks, the Copyright infringement attorneys at Goldstein, Faucett & Prebeg are experienced and ready to assist Copyright owners (whether an individual inventor or a large company) in the enforcement and registration of Copyrights. The enforcement of Copyright laws is frequently accomplished for our clients through contingent fees.
A Copyright is a statutory property right which grants to creators (authors) certain exclusive rights with respect to their creation for a limited duration. Essentially, a Copyright protects original works of authorship which are fixed in a tangible medium of expression, i.e., it protects the expression of ideas, but not the ideas themselves. For example, a Copyright may protect a work such as a book, a picture, a graphic, a sculptural work, music, photographs, movies, and computer programs.
While registration of a Copyrighted work is not required to establish the existence of a Copyright, it is a prerequisite to filing a Copyright infringement lawsuit and provides certain other legal remedies and advantages.
Goldstein, Faucett & Prebeg is flexible in negotiating Copyright contingency fees and alternative billing arrangements for litigation for Copyright infringement, with the range of rates depending on the nature of the case. The fee can also be based upon a mixed hourly/partial contingency fee arrangement.
