Hopkins McCarthy obtains registration of copyrights.

Through our national litigation practice, Hopkins McCarthy’s attorneys can obtain injunctions and institute actions for money damages in Federal Court against infringers, or aggressively defend allegations of infringement against you.

Copyright law has faced significant changes in recent years.  Among these changes are the extension of copyright terms, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the Architectural Works Act of 1990, as well as the law’s treatment of the development of technology and its effect upon music, motion pictures and the internet.  Hopkins McCarthy’s lawyers are well versed in all areas if copyright law and litigation.
