Experienced Copyright Lawyer Working for You
At Hess Patent Law Firm, any misconceptions or concerns you might have about copyright protections can be addressed. Once you create an original piece of work, such as a musical composition, literary piece, photograph or art work, you will automatically obtain a copyright for the work. You can strengthen the value of the copyright through registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office.
This is an important way to protect your unique expression from copyright infringement. However, you will not have the ability to register a copyright for the subject matter of the idea or the idea itself. For example, if you wrote a new book, attorney Robert J. Hess can help you register a copyright to protect the book from copyright infringement. You would not, however, be able to prevent another author from writing on the same subject matter.
