You Created It. Make Sure You Protect It.

Copyright protects original creative works, including photographs, films, videos, music, books, artwork, video games, software, website content, and mobile applications. While copyright protection generally begins when an original work is created and fixed in a tangible medium, registration with the U.S. Copyright Office provides critical legal benefits and can be essential to effectively enforcing those rights.

Creating the work is only the beginning. Copyright owners must also protect how their content is used, reproduced, distributed, displayed, licensed, and monetized. When someone copies or exploits your work without authorization, Lee Law can take action to stop the infringement and protect the value of what you created.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) provides an important mechanism for combating online infringement by allowing copyright owners to seek removal of unauthorized content from websites, platforms, and online services. But the DMCA process can be complicated. Takedown notices may be challenged through counter-notifications, and improper or overly aggressive use of the DMCA can create its own legal problems. Lee Law represents clients on both sides of these disputes—helping copyright owners remove infringing material while also defending creators and businesses against improper copyright claims and takedowns.

Lee Law provides comprehensive copyright counsel throughout the life of a creative work. We help clients register copyrights, negotiate and draft licenses and assignments, conduct copyright and fair use reviews, develop enforcement strategies, issue cease-and-desist and DMCA takedown notices, pursue online infringement, and litigate copyright disputes when necessary. We also review content before publication or release to identify potential infringement risks and defend clients accused of violating the copyrights of others.

From registration and licensing to enforcement and litigation, our attorneys help creators and businesses turn their creative works into protected and valuable assets.

You own the copyright. Lee Law helps you keep it that way.
