It is crucial to take proactive steps if you or your company faces a copyright infringement notice or lawsuit. Hiring a copyright litigation attorney can expedite resolution and prevent further escalation or litigation. Additionally, getting served with a copyright infringement lawsuit may require quick action. We regularly defend clients that have been sued for copyright infringement.
Have you been sued for Copyright Infringement ?
Not every person or entity accused of copyright infringement will be found liable. If you face a claim for copyright infringement in court, there are several defenses that can be used, including statute of limitations and laches, public domain, lack of copyrightability, licensed use, lack of originality, independent creation, fair use, de minimis use and copyright misuse. If you were served with a federal copyright infringement lawsuit, you generally have only 21 days to respond to the Complaint. Failure to do so may result in a costly default judgment.
Did you receive a Copyright Infringement Notice?
If you received a copyright infringement notice, it means someone believes you're violating their copyright. These letters should not be ignored. The letter will generally demand that you stop (or “cease and desist”) the alleged infringement right away, and they often threaten legal action if you don't comply.
While some notices are valid, others might stretch the copyright boundaries. Ignoring them is not the solution. You should take copyright infringement seriously. Our attorneys can help assess the situation, and provide guidance on the best course of action, including defense through negotiation or litigation.
Negotiating a claim for Copyright Infringement:
As skilled copyright defense attorneys, we regularly assist our clients in negotiating and settling copyright infringement claims. Opting for a settlement is generally more advantageous than waiting until you are sued since the parties can negotiate a significantly reduced rate compared to potential losses in the event of a default or a lengthy trial. Additionally, settling eliminates the uncertainties and risks associated with court proceedings.
When facing a copyright infringement lawsuit, it is highly advisable to engage an attorney as soon as possible to help you evaluate the claim, potential exposure, and assist you in reaching a settlement.
Our Fees to Defend You:
Lawyers can be intimidating. Navigating a lawsuit in federal court can also be daunting for many individuals, especially when the concern is that hiring a lawyer might end up costing more than the case is worth.
Our approach is grounded in practicality. We believe in a "win-win" scenario, where the potential benefits outweigh the costs. For instance, if recovering $80k in damages incurs $90k in legal fees, it doesn't make sense to proceed. We can't guarantee specific case outcomes, as no lawyer can, but we do promise transparent communication about our time and anticipated costs. Before initiating any case, we make sure our client is fully aware of the potential costs and risks associated with litigation. Our goal is to avoid financial surprises during our representation. Further, our smaller office ensures lower overhead and considerably reduced retainers compared to larger law firms. Being one of the best IP or copyright attorneys doesn't necessitate exorbitant fees or infinite billable hours; it demands a commitment to clients and an in-depth understanding of copyright's intricacies. We have litigated a vast number of copyright defenses in the Southern and Middle District of Florida. We are highly familiar with our opponents, the judiciary, and the law. We are here for you. Call us today and we'll be happy to discuss your copyright infringement lawsuit.
