Copyright

Haynes and Boone’s Copyright Practice Group specializes in all forms of copyright protection and enforcement. With copyright attorneys throughout the country, we have pursued and defended copyright litigation and protection matters in multiple jurisdictions, and have the capability to assist our clients nationwide. Our copyright attorneys are well-versed in emerging technologies and content platforms and the need for sophisticated protection and enforcement strategies. Our approach is both aggressive and practical, and we pursue each copyright matter with one goal in mind—achieving optimal results for our clients.

We have successfully represented clients in key copyright trial and appellate venues throughout the country, including the U.S. Supreme Court. Our attorneys have achieved precedential results in favor of our clients and welcome the opportunity to establish new precedent in cases involving emerging technologies and novel arguments.

In addition to traditional copyright litigation and protection strategies, we routinely advise clients on licensing agreements and disputes, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), fair use, forward-looking enforcement and protection programs, and liability avoidance strategies.
