Entertainment IP Services in New York

Copyright Registration and Protection

We handle copyright registration for New York creators covering music recordings and compositions, screenplays and scripts, films and video content, photographs, visual art, literary works, and software. Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office establishes a public record of ownership, enables statutory damages in infringement actions, and provides the legal foundation for licensing and enforcement.

Trademark Protection for Entertainment Brands

We register and protect trademarks for New York entertainment professionals and businesses including band names, stage names, production company brands, show titles, podcast names, and merchandise lines. Trademark registration with the USPTO prevents others from using confusingly similar marks and protects the brand identity that drives audience recognition and commercial value.

IP Licensing and Monetization

We draft and negotiate licensing agreements for New York creators and entertainment businesses covering sync licenses for music in film and advertising, content licensing for distribution and streaming, merchandise licensing, publishing sublicenses, and image licensing for commercial use. Properly structured licensing agreements maximize revenue while protecting the creator's rights and controlling how their work is used.

Rights Enforcement and Infringement

We enforce intellectual property rights for New York creators and entertainment businesses through cease-and-desist letters, DMCA takedown notices, platform dispute procedures, and litigation referrals for significant infringement cases. Timely enforcement is essential to maintaining the value of creative work and deterring future unauthorized use.

IP Portfolio Management

We advise New York entertainment businesses on managing intellectual property portfolios including catalog administration, rights tracking, renewal management, and strategic acquisition or disposition of IP assets. Proper portfolio management ensures that every asset in a creator's or company's catalog is properly protected, actively licensed, and generating maximum value.

Entertainment IP in New York

New York's position as a global center for entertainment IP means that creative work produced in the state reaches audiences worldwide. The legal strategies protecting this work must account for domestic and international copyright law, multi-territory licensing structures, and the enforcement challenges that arise when creative content is distributed across digital platforms.
