Obtaining Copyright Protection
Whether you are a painter, filmmaker, writer, musician or any other type of creative artist, you have invested time and energy into your artistic creation. While federal copyright law provides a measure of copyright protection at the time the creative work is made, registering your creative work with the U.S. Copyright Office will provide you with maximum legal copyright protection. At the copyright law firm of Gagnon, Peacock & Shanklin, P.C., we help artists protect and maximize the value of their intellectual property in their artistic work.
Our copyright attorneys can assist you with an initial copyright application and registration process before the U.S. Copyright Office. From poetry to software, we can help you register the copyright in your work.
Additional Benefits after Registration with U.S. Copyright Office
While a copyright owner need not register a work with the Copyright Office, certain statutory benefits and protections are unavailable to unregistered copyright owners during a lawsuit. For example, a copyright owner who prevails in court against an infringer but failed to register the work may be unable to obtain a reimbursement of attorney fees from the infringer or may be unable to obtain treble damages. For maximum legal protection and additional legal benefits, artists should register their work. Our copyright attorneys can help you in the copyright registration process.
