Copyright

Learn the value of creativity and originality

The versatility of copyright is often underappreciated and underexploited. Copyright protects original creative expressions called works. Owners of works have exclusive rights to control, exploit, and protect their works. Works are protectable once they are fixed in a tangible medium so that they can be visually or audibly communicated and perceived.   

In the US, a copyright registration can be a simple and effective way to protect your investment and creative vision. Copyright protection is a valuable business tool that we can help you optimize.
