From registration with the U.S. Copyright Office to content licensing, rights clearance, and open source software, our team of copyright attorneys counsels clients in the creative and technological economies on a broad range of copyright matters. Pierce Atwood's copyright clients, including software and software-as-a-service companies, designers of home fashions and consumer products, authors, publishers, film makers, and others, face copyright challenges on a daily basis and routinely look to us for creative and efficient solutions.

Pierce Atwood has extensive experience in structuring and negotiating a variety of copyright-related contracts, including license agreements, content distribution agreements, work-for-hire and assignment agreements, and publishing agreements. In partnership with our IP litigation attorneys, we have a proven track record of successfully representing clients involved in copyright litigation claims in federal and state courts, and using federal notice and take-down procedures to prevent copyright infringement on the internet.
