Copyright Attorney Naperville
Cook Alex’s copyright attorney solutions are focused on helping clients protect and defend their rights.
A copyright is a broad term that defines the creation of an original work. This can include taking a photograph, writing an original story, performing a new song, or some range of originality. Making the creator the owner.
Copyrights can be owned by someone other than the creator through works created by contract. Where a company or organization can hire a person and be the legal owner of the work within the employment.
But what does a copyright provide?
US copyright laws provide original authors, or creator, with exclusive rights that include:
-The reproduction of the work in phonorecords or copies
-Derivative work based on the original work
-The public distribution of copies of the work by sale, rental, lease, or lending
-The performance of the work if the medium allows. This can be true for literary, musical, or dramatic works
-A public performance of the work through a digital audio transmission
