What does a copyright attorney do?

A copyright attorney helps creators protect their original works by handling copyright registration, drafting licensing agreements, enforcing copyright protections, and representing clients in infringement disputes. At HGR, our copyright lawyer team guides you through every aspect of copyright law to ensure your creative works receive maximum legal protection.

Do I need to register my copyright in Florida?

While copyright automatically exists upon creation of an original work, registering with the United States Copyright Office provides significant legal advantages. Registration is required before filing an infringement lawsuit and allows you to seek statutory damages and attorney's fees. Our Jacksonville copyright attorney team can help you navigate the registration process.

How long does copyright protection last?

For works created after 1978, copyright generally lasts for the author's lifetime plus 70 years. For works made for hire, anonymous works, or pseudonymous works, protection lasts 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. Our copyright law professionals can explain how these terms apply to your specific situation.

What should I do if someone infringes my copyright?

Contact a copyright lawyer immediately. Document the infringement by saving copies of the unauthorized use. Our Jacksonville team at HGR can assess your situation, send cease and desist letters, negotiate settlements, or file litigation if necessary to protect your rights and seek appropriate remedies.

How much does it cost to hire a copyright attorney in Jacksonville?

Copyright attorney fees vary based on the services needed, from straightforward registration to complex litigation. At HGR, we offer transparent pricing and can discuss fee structures during your initial consultation. Many copyright cases may qualify for contingency arrangements where we recover attorney's fees from infringers.
