Copyrights
The firm
assists clients in protecting their copyrightable works,
ranging from books, music, and videotapes, to computer
software and databases. Because of the unpredictable scope
of copyright protection now emerging in the courts for
computer software, the firm advises and assists its clients
in seeking patent and trademark protection in addition to
copyright registration for such works. As the international
scope of database protection is now under consideration by
the U.S. Congress, the firm also maintains an active watch
and provides legal strategic advice to clients regarding
how best to protect and exploit database rights.
The firm's attorneys are experienced in copyright
licensing, transfer and enforcement, and have represented
both authors and publishers in traditional and multimedia
projects.
