Intellectual Property Law FAQ
Here are some of the questions we commonly receive from those who are looking to hire an intellectual property lawyer in NYC. If you don’t see your question answered here, feel free to give us a call to schedule a consultation.
How Do I Protect My Copyright?
To help protect your copyright, you’ll want to keep detailed records of the development of your work in case it comes into question and keep your private ideas secret. It may sound easy, but conflicts can arise in ways that can be hard for you to address on your own. A qualified intellectual property attorney can handle the disputes and resolutions for you.
What Do I Do if I Am Being Accused of Violating a Copyright?
The first thing you should do is call us. That’s the best first step in getting the protection you need. We’ll sit down with you and discuss what happened, determine whether you have violated an intellectual property law, and work with you and the opposing party to come to an agreeable and fair solution.
If your case needs to go to trial, we’ll have your back. We’ll present a solid defense in court and handle every detail of the trial process for you.
If I Create Something at Work, Does My Employer Own My Copyright?
Not necessarily. You must have a written agreement between you and your employer that assigns the copyright to them. An attorney can work with you on drafting up that agreement.
