Artists must be vigilant in asserting their ownership of the material they create and their right to determine how it’s used. If you’re an artist who’s been cheated by another person or business, I am a copyright infringement lawyer with Michael Coblenz Attorney at Law who will work diligently to recover compensation for your damages and lost profits. Depending on your goals, I may negotiate a beneficial settlement or licensing agreement, or I may fight for you in court. I will seek full legal remedy on behalf of artists and copyright-holding businesses in the Lexington area and throughout Kentucky.
To make a strong case that you deserve to be compensated for the unauthorized use of your original work, you must be able to show that you hold a valid copyright and that another party copied your writing, music or other original work. At Michael Coblenz Attorney at Law, I will strive to build your case based on the following essential elements:
If someone else used your copyrighted work inappropriately, you have a right to seek compensation for the money they made and the damage they caused.
At Michael Coblenz Attorney at Law, I strive to negotiate a fair settlement to remedy the losses you’ve suffered. I will advocate for a deal that includes compensation for the profits made off your art and for your financial losses resulting from the infringement. To increase the likelihood of a favorable settlement, I may bring in expert witnesses to help establish the monetary value of losses and profits. Alternatively, I can go to court to fight for a just verdict based on actual or statutory damages.
Artists need strong advocacy to prevent more powerful parties from taking advantage of their original work. If you have been the victim of copyright infringement, Michael Coblenz Attorney at Law will be firmly in your corner to help you achieve sufficient legal remedy.
