I was referred to Robert by Ruge Law Group when they were actually KRG Law Group. They handled a car accident I was involved in. This was a business debt collection levied against our company by an employee’s debt collector. He and his colleagues handled it flawlessly. He and his staff are beyond impressive and do everything they can to take the cases brought before them. I came back to them with a very big case. I don’t want to dox anyone in the office other than the name on the business. However, they handled it in the most professional, respectful, and caring way possible. J, you did an amazing job and due diligence! Robert, I wanted to personally thank you for representing us in the past and in the future. You and your paralegals are above Top Shelf. This firm is straight Louis XIII.
Intellectual Property – Copy Right Infringement
Understanding Copyright Infringement Florida Statute
In Florida, the three most important ways to protect intellectual property are through patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
Any fresh and unique decorative design for an object of production may qualify for patent protection, as may any beneficial innovations, such as a new product, a new way of doing business, or a new procedure for manufacturing or utilizing anything. Books, songs, paintings, pictures, web pages, and programs are just some of the creative works that are protected by copyright laws.
What Is Copyright Infringement Intellectual Property?
Infringement of copyright occurs when a protected work is used in any of the following ways without permission: used to create another work, reproduced, distributed, performed, or shown publicly. Literature, artwork, performances, films, monuments, tattoos, and any other works of art might fall under this category. In order to win a case about copyright infringement, an attorney must show that the plaintiff owns a copyright that can be enforced and that the defendant copied the original parts of the work in a way that can be used as evidence.
When deciding whether or not copyright infringement occurred, the court will consider a number of factors. These elements include, but are not limited to:
- The question of whether or not the two works are duplicates;
- How much access the defendant had to the project is at issue;
- Whether or not there are convincing parallels between the two works.
