Copyright Litigation & Law in Oklahoma
In the current age of digital multimedia, your intellectual property is a greater target than ever before. Copyright is your first line of defense against those who seek to duplicate, distribute or otherwise make use of your intellectual property without your permission. A copyright is the legal assignment of specific rights to the use or particular expression of an idea or other original works of authorship to an author. Copyrights cover the expression of an idea—whether it’s written, drawn, documented in musical notes, created in design software, or expressed in some other way. Books, movies, photography, drawings, lyrics, paintings, architectural works, computer programs and most other forms of intellectual property can all be protected by copyright.
In order to pursue those who violate your copyright, however, the copyright must first be registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable intellectual property attorneys can help you obtain a copyright registration for your work. We routinely work with artists, authors, photographers, musicians and software companies to develop licensing, distribution, and royalty agreements for their various works. If you feel that your copyright has been infringed upon, we can help you illustrate proof of ownership and proof of infringement, and discuss the legal remedies at your disposal. And if you have been accused of infringing upon another’s copyright, we can help you examine your legal options and present the best defense possible.
The Tomlinson, Rust, McKinstry & Grable business and complex litigation team regularly resolves complicated copyright infringement disputes in federal court as well as “trial-like” adjudicative settings. Whatever the circumstances surrounding your copyright litigation, we’re there for you.
