Copyrights
Copyright Services
Protection for original creative work: writing, art, music, software and material published in digital form.
Copyright generally arises when an original work is created. Registration does not create the right, but it produces a formal record that is useful when ownership needs to be demonstrated.
DHI IP prepares and files copyright applications and assembles the supporting documentation, including the material that establishes authorship and ownership.
Questions of ownership frequently arise where work has been commissioned, produced by employees or created collaboratively. Those positions are worth settling in writing early.
