Legal Services Offered by Our On-Demand Austin Copyright Attorneys

Our Austin copyright attorneys & lawyers can help you register a copyright for your original work of authorship. This will ensure that you have documented proof of your copyright ownership. Because, if you don't file it, you can't sue if someone uses your work.

Once registered, the copyright lawyer you chose can also assist you with the development of licensing and/or distribution agreements so you can collect royalties on your original work of authorship. The copyright attorneys & lawyers on UpCounsel represent entrepreneurs, musicians, actors, artists, TV producers, and authors. Our Austin copyright attorneys can also assist you with fighting copyright infringement in the case a party infringes on any of your copyrights, as they'll seek to prevent it and seek damages from any and all infringers. Many attorneys also have expertise in defending clients against claims of infringement.

There are three types of copyright: usage, full, and unique. Usage means the buyer gets to use the article one time, but the writer can use it again or resell it. Full rights will give the buyer all rights; they can even place their name on the article, saying they wrote it. Your copyright attorney can explain further details about the different kinds of copyright.

Copyright ©, the least expensive form of protection, means literally "the right to copy" an original creation. Original works of authorship include: Movies, drawings, books, works of art, music, textile and jewelry designs, photographs, lyrics, computer programs, paintings, architectural works, including blue prints and maps.

Carlos Perez

"Carlos did get my trademark done and was knowledgeable in the trademark process and search. However, he did not double-check his work, showed up late to our meeting and gave me a deadline he missed by at least three weeks. I can overlook being late or missing deadlines, but the big mistake was Carlos using my home address against my wishes when filing with the USPTO. I clarified at least a few times how important it was to me to keep my home address private and I provided him with my PO Box. He confirmed he would take care of this on the initial filing. After he filed, I noticed my home address listed on the USPTO website. I mentioned my displeasure and asked Carlos if he could fix his error. Carlos messaged me that he would update the address with the USPTO. He took a screenshot of edits that looked official and sent this to me. Three months later, I am getting spam sent to my home address. After receiving several unwanted spam packages, I double-checked his update on the USPTO website and noticed his update did not go through. I called Carlos and messaged him asking why this did not go as planned and how important it was to again fix his error. When he called me back, he had the nerve to ask if it was urgent to get the updated address taken care of. The urgency is that you made my home address public against my wishes! He mentioned it may take up to two business days to take care of it. I checked back the next week and it's still NOT done! Finally, I made the address change myself, thankfully it went through on my first try. Never again…"

What Is Trade Counterfeiting?

Trademark counterfeiting refers to when an established trademark is placed on a product or service that is not one of the legitimate goods offered by the trademark owner. The federal Trademark Act, also called the Lanham Act, prohibits such counterfeiting.

In the United States, counterfeiting laws are becoming more and more favorable for those who own trademarks. Case law is growing substantially when it comes to the 1984 amendment to the trademark counterfeiting provisions of the Lanham Act. Owners of trademarks in the United States can depend on the law to help protect their marks from counterfeiters.

What Are Trademark Colors?

Trademark colors are the specific shades and hues registered to a particular brand.

Why Trademark Colors Matter

Colors can make people think or feel a certain way about a product. A color can be associated with products in a literal or an abstract way to produce certain psychological effects. Blue, for example, can be used for frozen, cool products, while green is often used for healthy or organic choices. Certain colors can be considered to work together or be particularly aesthetically pleasing. Green and yellow are closely related, so they appear to be harmonious. Vibrant and eye-catching colors can produce certain visual effects. Some colors grab the audience's attention right away
