Copyright Defense

When you’re accused of stealing copyrighted material, the risks are real: financial damages, legal fees, reputational harm, and the strain and disruption of prolonged litigation. Decisive action is essential to protect your interests.

At Maxwell Goss Law, we defend businesses and professionals facing claims of copyright infringement. Our experienced IP attorneys will guide you through every step, ensuring you understand your rights and developing a tailored strategy to resolve the issue efficiently while safeguarding what you’ve worked hard to achieve. Here’s how:

Understanding Your Situation

The first step in defending against a copyright claim is to understand what it means and what its implications are. A claim of copyright infringement may involve:

• Digital photographs
• Art and graphic design
• Music and video
• Website content
• Computer software
• Other creative works

Sometimes—but not always—accusations begin with a letter threatening a lawsuit and demanding payment to make it go away. Either way, we will cut through the noise—analyzing the claim, weighing the risks, and ensuring you understand your rights and options.

Getting the Facts Straight

Not every copyright claim is valid. Many come from misunderstandings or overzealous enforcement. And regardless of the merits, the demands for payment sometimes exceed the seriousness of the allegations. Our team will investigate:

• Whether the material in question is actually copyrighted
• Whether your accuser has the right to enforce the copyright
• Whether your use falls under fair use or other exceptions
• Whether your use falls under any formal or informal license
• Whether your accuser has a history of questionable claims

By analyzing these and other factors, we can determine the strength of your position and develop the most effective strategy for rebutting the claim and achieving a resolution.

Protecting Your Interests

A copyright claim can drain your resources, tarnish your reputation, and divert time and energy away from your objectives. We’ll help you by:

• Responding professionally to the copyright owner
• Asserting the strengths of your position
• Negotiating a fair resolution
• Defending you in court if litigation becomes necessary
• Minimizing disruption throughout the process
• Creating preventive measures for future risk management

Our goal is to resolve your situation efficiently while protecting your interests. We understand what is at stake and will fight to secure the best possible outcome.
