Copyright-Related Transactional Legal Services
When creativity meets commerce, experienced eyes on the transaction details are vital, as you manage your copyrightable assets.
Business transactions are an inevitable part of the life of a copyrightable asset, beginning with the documents that inform the asset's creation, through those that govern its licensing and use, including the sale or transfer of the copyright to a third party or an heir. Careful attention to all components of the deal and resulting contracts is vital to minimize risk and maximize value to the copyright creator, owner, and consumer.
We work with our clients to understand their plans and goals, both in commerce and creatively. We combine this with the experience our attorneys have in considering all angles of a deal to provide our clients with knowledgeable guidance and effective representation in the complex intersection of law, business, and copyright-related transactions.
We can help you:
Navigate licensing for use of music, text, or visual art, whether your use of another's copyrightable assets or another's use of your assets.
Define ownership of a creation through the negotiation of terms and/or the drafting of a collaboration agreement.
Contract for ownership of copyrightable assets before, during, and after creation.
Synthesize and make sense of the copyright assets you have and how they appear in the market by documenting and cataloging your works.
Cultivate relationships through carefully constructed terms and contracts.
