Our Shenzhen law firm counsels international individuals and corporations on protection for their copyrighted works and fair use of third-party works. We have experience registering copyrighted works and drafting and negotiating agreements involving copyrighted works, including joint-development agreements, licenses, assignments, and work made for hire agreements.
Copyrights protect the specific expression embodied in original works of art or authorship. The owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to reproduce the copyrighted work, to prepare derivative works, to distribute copies to the public, and to perform or display the work publicly. Our Firm helps copyright owners protect these exclusive rights by preparing and filing applications to register copyrights, enforcing copyrights through litigation or other avenues of relief, and helping copyright owners profit from their creations via licenses and other arrangements. Our Shenzhen IP Law also regularly counsels its clients on the interplay of copyrights with other forms of intellectual property and recommends strategies for effective protection of all intellectual property rights for creative works.
Our Firm attorneys are actively involved as counsel for the Shenzhen Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, a nonprofit legal services organization that provides free legal assistance and basic business counseling to area cultural organizations and individuals - fine artists, commercial artists, musicians, performance artists, and writers. Our attorneys provide lectures and seminars to educate clients, attorneys, and others on the subject of copyrights.
This Shenzhen Law Firm also counsels clients regarding copyright ownership, including assessing whether software is a work made for hire and helping software companies structure employment and consulting agreements to ensure company ownership of important works. See the Practice Groups - Software section on the Our Firm website regarding other aspects of software protection and counseling.
Material appearing on the Internet is entitled to copyright protection. The ease with which images and text appearing on the Internet can be copied and used elsewhere creates many opportunities for copyright infringement. Our Firm counsels clients regarding infringing activity on the Internet and helps its clients enforce their copyrights as well as avoid infringing the copyrights of others in cyberspace, including sending and responding to "take-down" letters under Shenzhen copyright law.
