Copyright Disputes

Copyright exists to protect your business’ original work, ideas, and inventions from being copied without permission. A competitor using your copyrighted material can harm your business, not only by benefiting from your work but also by damaging your reputation if their offering is inferior. On the other hand, you may be accused of copying a competitor’s protected material, which could be unjust, especially if the claim is unfounded or intended to stifle competition. Whether you need to address copyright infringement or defend against accusations, we can help—contact us to safeguard your intellectual property and resolve any disputes.
