Copyright Licensing
We draft and negotiate copyright licenses enabling commercial exploitation while protecting authors' rights.
Our Copyright Licensing Services
Copyright licensing monetizes creative works and enables authorized uses. Our practice structures licenses that achieve commercial objectives while properly allocating rights and protecting copyright interests.
License Structures
We draft and negotiate various copyright licenses including exclusive and non-exclusive licenses, limited use permissions, publishing agreements, and synchronization licenses. We tailor terms to the specific work and use.
Rights Definition
Copyright encompasses multiple exclusive rights. We carefully define which rights are granted, ensuring licensors retain intended rights and licensees receive needed permissions.
Royalty Arrangements
We structure royalty provisions including rates, calculation methods, advances, minimums, and audit rights. We negotiate terms appropriate to the market and the specific deal.
Termination Rights
Copyright law provides termination rights allowing authors to reclaim transferred rights after specified periods. We advise on termination right implications for both licensors and licensees.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between ™ and ®?
The ™ symbol indicates that you claim trademark rights in a mark, but it does not require federal registration. The ® symbol can only be used after your trademark has been officially registered with the USPTO.
How long does trademark registration take?
The typical timeline for USPTO trademark registration is 8-12 months if there are no complications. If office actions or oppositions arise, the process can take 18 months or longer.
Do I need to conduct a trademark search before filing?
While not legally required, we strongly recommend a comprehensive clearance search before filing. A search helps identify potential conflicts that could result in refusal of your application.
What are the USPTO filing fees?
USPTO filing fees are $250 per class using TEAS Plus or $350 per class using TEAS Standard. Additional fees apply for Statements of Use, extensions, and other filings.
Can I trademark a name I'm not using yet?
Yes, you can file an Intent-to-Use (ITU) application before you begin using the mark in commerce. However, you must eventually provide evidence of actual use before the trademark will register.
How long does a trademark registration last?
A federal trademark registration can last indefinitely, but you must file maintenance documents between years 5-6 and renew every 10 years.
