Copyright Litigation 

Copyright has always been a crucial matter for anyone who creates intellectual property such as books, works of art, screenplays, music, or other original work. In the age of the internet, these issues have gotten more complex as it’s easy to have work stolen or plagiarized online. Stanton IP Law Firm has many Florida copyright litigation attorneys that can help you protect your rights and, when necessary, take the appropriate legal action. 

The Importance of Copyright

Copyright law can be confusing to those outside the legal profession. A copyright protects the rightful owner of intellectual property and prohibits anyone else from using the property without authorization. Copyrights apply to all types of intellectual property, which includes computer programs as well as art and written works. Certain types of copyright protection works automatically. For example, if you publish a manuscript such as an article or book and someone copies it, you can initiate legal action against them even if you didn’t register copyright. However, registering a copyright provides you with more comprehensive protection.
