We handle copyright infringement cases dealing with a wide range of issues. Infringement of copyright involves the unauthorized use of a work (or part of a work) without the permission of the owner of the work. These rights include the right to distribute, reproduce, perform, or display the work. There can also be claims in cases where derivative works are created that are seen as violating the copyright privileges of the original work’s owner.
