Copyright Protection Law

Though frequently overlooked in the business world, copyright is an inexpensive, yet powerful, legal device. By protecting the expression of innovative ideas such as publications, computer applications, and designs, a strategic copyright program helps to ensure continued success for technology-based enterprises.

At Vern Maine & Associates, our copyright attorneys have extensive experience in helping clients file for copyright protection, and work proactively to identify ownership issues before they arise. In addition to counseling our clients on the registration of original works of authorship, we can assist them in establishing systems for policing and enforcing their copyrights.

Our registered copyright attorneys offer high-quality legal counseling in matters of:

• Evaluation of authorship
• Originality of works
• Preparation and filing of copyright applications
• Infringement analysis
• Docket management
• Copyright assignments and licensing
• Copyright dispute negotiations

In this day and age, maintaining control of digital works can pose special challenges for businesses. Our attorneys have expertise in the applicability of copyright to digital mediums such as software, digitized text, and electronic databases, and can provide insight into how the Digital Millennium Copyright Act impacts high-technology companies.
