Copyright and Publishing Law
The protection of creators and their works, as well as the exploitation of those works.
The protection of creators and their works, as well as the exploitation of those works, has always been an essential component of the advice provided by our attorneys—both at Fritz & Mark Legal and at the firms that preceded Fritz & Mark Legal.
We advise our clients in all areas of copyright law and enforce their interests both in and out of court. We view our copyright expertise as an integral part of our broader intellectual property (IP) practice. In particular, publishing law is a key focus of our practice. Here, we have served as a point of contact for both publishers and creators for many years.
In addition to enforcing copyrights, contract drafting—particularly the drafting of exploitation and licensing agreements—also lies at the heart of our work.
