Is Someone Infringing Your Artwork?
Copyrights protect your valuable artistic, musical, literary, audiovisual, and software expressions.
Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses your original work without permission. If you believe your art, music, literary, audiovisual, or software creations are being infringed upon, understanding your rights and taking swift action is crucial. At Innovent Law, we specialize in protecting your intellectual property and ensuring that your rights as a creator are upheld.
What is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal protection granted to original works of authorship, including artistic, musical, literary, and software creations. It gives you the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display your work, as well as to create derivative works. When someone infringes upon these rights, it can harm both your creative reputation and financial opportunities.
If you’re wondering, what is copyright, it essentially means the ownership of creative expression that exists in a tangible medium.
How Copyright Protects Your Work
When you register your work with the United States Copyright Office, you gain the legal authority to enforce your rights. This includes stopping unauthorized reproductions and collecting damages if infringement occurs. Registered copyrights also allow you to seek statutory damages and recover attorney’s fees in legal disputes.
Infringement can involve making unauthorized copies, distributing or displaying your work, or creating unauthorized derivatives. Protecting your creative work is essential in maintaining its value and preventing misuse.
Can Copyright Holders Sue for Infringement?
Yes, copyright holders can file lawsuits to stop infringement and seek compensation. If you are facing a situation where someone is infringing on your artwork, Innovent Law can help you take action. Whether it’s copyright fraud or direct infringement, we’ll assess your case and guide you through the legal process.
If you’re wondering if you can hold third parties accountable, copyright law allows holders to sue investors or companies for tertiary liability if they contributed to the infringement, even indirectly.

What is Copyright Infringement?
Copyright infringement occurs when someone uses your work without your permission. This can include making unauthorized copies, using your artwork in a public setting, or creating derivative works. The copyright symbol is a way to publicly assert your ownership over your work, signaling to others that your work is protected by law.
In cases of copyright infringement, Innovent Law helps you take the necessary steps to stop unauthorized use and seek compensation. If you believe someone has violated your copyright, we can help with a copyright search to identify infringers.
Why You Should Protect Your Work
Protecting your work through copyright law ensures that you maintain control over how it is used, reproduced, and distributed. Without this protection, your creative efforts could be exploited without compensation or credit. This is especially important in a world where intellectual property is often targeted for infringement.

I hold Karima Gulick in high regard, as one of the brightest young up-and-coming attorneys in Southern California. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Karima over the course of the past several years and look forward to doing so again in the future.

I have a startup where we have exactly zero experience with IP and how to navigate this space, but we have a product we need to protect. We reached out to Karima who was able to help us understand exactly what had already been done, what needed to be done, the best way to do it and how. She even followed up to make sure we were on schedule and helped with all of our questions and concerns. It was a very confusing situation and she was able to make it all seem crystal clear. We will use Karima for all of our IP and trademark needs in the future!

Look no further for your trademark or patent concerns, services, or needs. I highly recommend Karima at Innovent Law. She has impeccable service. Her work is meticulous. Karima helped guide me through the trademark process with clarity and ease. She made the experience easy to understand. She sent me a questionnaire by email, the necessary forms/paperwork to fill out, once it was up to standard she collected payment and the application was sent. Her experience in this field is outstanding.
I write this review with gratitude.

I needed to apply for a patent and trademark and am so glad that I was referred to Karima Gulick. She is extremely knowledgeable and hardworking. I also liked that she realized that I was not familiar with the process and she took the time to explain everything to me. I highly recommend Karima and will definitely hire her again when the need arises.
