We know copyright law, and particularly the fair use defense to claims of copyright infringement.  We routinely provide pre-publication advice on copyright issues, and we regularly litigate copyright matters.  These are a few of our cases in the field:

• Recently defended newspaper in jury trial arguing that the newspaper fairly used a photograph in a book review.  The jury returned a verdict in the newspaper’s favor in just 37 minutes.
  
  
• Successfully defended studio against copyright, false designation of origin and misappropriation claims based on parodied reference to comedienne on "Family Guy," an animated television program.
  
  
• Representing famous architectural firm on appeal in architectural copyright infringement case.
  
  
• Defended studio against copyright infringement claims surrounding television portrayal of comic book character, and brought counterclaims for copyright infringement.
