Copyrights

Emerging technologies and digital platforms have provided new frontiers for sharing ideas, content and other creative works. However, they have also opened the floodgates to infringers and, for those using works owned by others, defending adversarial and expensive enforcement measures. That’s why creators turn to CSG’s Intellectual Property Group.

Our attorneys assist businesses and individuals with protecting their rights in connection with a range of copyright matters – including obtaining registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, providing guidance relating to the use of copyrighted works owned by others and navigating the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

Our IP attorneys prepare and negotiate copyright assignment agreements, work-for-hire agreements and license agreements, and routinely advise clients on copyright ownership issues – from the simplest to the most complex. We also assist clients with copyright enforcement matters (including DMCA notice and takedown procedures), and we litigate copyright infringement actions in federal court.
