A copyright is the recognition that the author of a "work" is entitled to control the commercial exploitation of the mode of expression in the work. Most commonly, copyrights are associated with books or music; however, other areas, such as dramatic works; pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works, motion pictures and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, architectural works; and software design can involve copyrightable features as well. For infringement, the alleged infringer must have access to the copyrighted matter and substantially copy it. Often, "copying" is proven through the degree of similarity between the protected work and the later one; however, a person is entitled to his or her own unique creative products even if identical to some prior work.
Various of the Firm's business clients have been represented concerning both the protection and enforcement of material eligible for copyright protection.
