CopyrightCalifornia Copyright LawyerOver the last 27 years as an IP attorney serving Northern California, I have been privileged to work with a broad range of creative people, companies and firms regarding their copyright matters. In addition, my experience as an author has given me firsthand knowledge of the importance of copyright from the creator's perspective. My counseling, licensing, and litigation practice covers works of authorship ranging from the sublime--books, photography, and fine art--to the more mundane: promotional and marketing materials, software, and compilations of data. Copyright is governed under federal law, and is codified under The U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §§ 101 - 810. A copyright gives its owner the exclusive right to reproduce, display, perform, or distribute his or her creative work.
