Because You Can’t Touch It, Doesn’t Mean It Doesn’t
Exist
Entertainment lawyers often find themselves
in the midst of cases regarding intellectual property. Families
of deceased authors have been known to fight over wills when
works of literature, poetry, or other pieces of writing become
bones of contention. Intellectual property includes inventions,
cures for diseases, operas, or popular recorded pieces of
music.
Though an idea in itself cannot be copywrited,
a song, a novel, and a screenplay can be, these all being
things that begin as an idea. Technically, the act of putting
an idea down on paper automatically makes it the property
of the person who originates it. Realistically, though, more
steps become necessary to ensure that another songwriter doesn’t
take your riff and call it his own, or that another scientist
doesn’t claim your discovery as his. If theft of your
intellectual property does occur, our team of competent attorneys
can stand by you to protect your rights.
When to Seek Our Assistance
Questions are encouraged. The better informed
you are about your own rights, the better equipped you will
be to continue to make successful decisions in any number
of areas in your life. Our attorneys can assist you to gather
the information necessary to keep or acquire the rights to
ventures that are legally yours. As soon as you begin to feel
you may need representation, that is the time to call. We
can help lay the groundwork for a potential lawsuit, or we
can calm your mind if nothing is amiss.
If you’re beginning a project and wonder
if you may need our services at some point, contact us. If
you’re in the middle of an extensive piece of work on
which you need to be advised, feel free to call or email us.
We are happy to discuss preliminary costs as well as the scope
of the work we can do for you.
