In my thirteen years of practice, I've had the opportunity to argue cases in state, federal, and tribal courts; in subjects as diverse as gaming, land tenure, water rights, treaty rights, finance, employment, criminal defense, conflict of laws, and tort (among others). But the real value I brought my clients came through avoiding litigation, fostering relationships, and developing long-term strategies.

Intellectual Property Legal Questions and Answers
Intellectual Property
DMCA Policy
Florida
Can I be held liable for DMCA violations if I unknowingly host copyrighted material on my website?
As a website owner, I recently received a DMCA takedown notice claiming that I am hosting copyrighted material without permission. However, I was unaware that the material was copyrighted and it was uploaded by a user. I promptly removed the content upon receiving the notice, but I'm concerned about potential legal consequences. Can I be held liable for DMCA violations if I unknowingly host copyrighted material on my website?
Amy B.
Since the user uploaded copyrighted material to your website without your knowledge, generally you will not be automatically liable under the DMCA “safe harbor” provision. As you have already removed the content, make sure that your site has a published DMCA policy and that you have registered your designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office. Generally, if you have everything in place, most of these matters are resolved without ongoing liability. Feel free to reach out if you need guidance on setting up a policy and agent registration.

Intellectual Property Rights Transfer Agreement
Georgia
Can I transfer the intellectual property rights for a product I created to another company?
I have recently developed a new product and I am considering transferring the intellectual property rights to a larger company that has the resources to manufacture and market it on a larger scale. I want to ensure that I can retain some control or receive royalties from the product's future success, and I am unsure of the legal process and implications involved in transferring the intellectual property rights to another entity.
Benjamin M.
Yes, you can achieve this through an IP license agreement versus a sale of your IP rights. In your license you would want to protect against gray market product manufacturing and also have provisions on how to handle defective products and components during the manufacturing process. I am available for a free consultation if you would like.

Copyright Search
Texas
Is it necessary to conduct a copyright search before using a specific image for commercial purposes?
I am a freelance graphic designer and I recently came across a striking image that I would like to incorporate into a client's commercial project. However, I want to ensure that I am not infringing on any copyright laws. I have heard about copyright searches, but I am unsure if they are necessary or if there are any potential legal consequences for using an image without conducting such a search. I want to make sure I am taking the necessary precautions to protect myself and my client from any legal issues.
Randy M.
When you’re preparing work for a client, the key issue isn’t whether you’ve run a formal copyright search, but whether you have the legal right to use the image. Copyright law automatically protects most images, so relying on the absence of a watermark or a registration record isn’t enough to keep you safe. Copyright Protection and Ownership Under U.S. law, copyright attaches the moment an original work is created and fixed in a tangible form (17 U.S.C. § 102). That means virtually every photo, illustration, or graphic you find online is already protected. Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office strengthens enforcement rights, but it isn’t required for protection. Likewise, the lack of a © symbol doesn’t mean an image is free to use. Because there’s no central database covering all copyrighted images, a formal copyright search isn’t practical or reliable in most cases. Even if you searched the Copyright Office’s records, you’d only be looking at registered works, which are a small fraction of what’s actually protected. Risks of Using Unlicensed Images If you incorporate an image without permission into a commercial project, you and your client could face serious consequences. Infringement can lead to cease-and-desist orders, statutory damages of $750 to $30,000 per work (and up to $150,000 for willful infringement) under 17 U.S.C. § 504(c), and potential liability for the copyright holder’s attorney’s fees. Courts generally view commercial use as disfavoring any “fair use” defense. Even if you didn’t intend to infringe, liability can still be imposed. Best Practices for Designers The best practice is to focus on obtaining images from sources where the licensing terms are clear and legally sound. For example: • Use reputable stock photo agencies such as Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, or Getty, where commercial licenses are explicit. • Choose Creative Commons images that allow commercial use (e.g., CC BY or CC0), but review license terms carefully. • Confirm public domain status when applicable, such as U.S. federal government works. • Contact creators directly for written permission if you want to use their work. • Keep copies of receipts, license agreements, or permission letters so you can show proof of rights if challenged. Reverse image search tools like Google Images or TinEye can be useful to trace the origin of an image and identify whether it’s sold or licensed by a third party. However, this is a step in due diligence, not a substitute for obtaining rights. Professional Responsibility As a freelance designer, your contracts may hold you responsible for ensuring that the materials you deliver don’t infringe anyone else’s rights. Delivering work that exposes your client to infringement claims can damage your reputation and your client relationship. The safest practice is to assume that any image you didn’t create yourself is protected until you confirm otherwise and secure the proper license.

What are the fees for starting a nonprofit in North Carolina
I have been operating a ministry for helping prisoners that are released by way of podcast, but now we are growing and want to provide hygiene and other assistance for them as well. I have ran into issues with people wanting to donate but I am not operating as a nonprofit at this time. I am trying to accomplish this so I won't have to keep paying out of my pocket for the expenses.
Holly T.
You can look to NCnonprofits.org for basic info, but you are a growing content creator. You need help planning growth, content, releases and waivers, sponsorships and a trademark if you intend to grow this Podcast. TLCtrademarks loves advising content creators.

Trademark Assignment Agreement
Maryland
Can a trademark assignment agreement be used to transfer ownership of a trademark from one company to another?
I am part of a small startup company that has recently entered into a partnership with a larger corporation. As part of this partnership, we have agreed to transfer ownership of our trademark to the larger corporation. We have been advised to use a trademark assignment agreement for this purpose, but I want to ensure that this is the correct legal document to use and that it will effectively transfer ownership of the trademark to the new company.
Roman V.
Hello, I'd be glad to review the details of the trademark assignment and confirm it properly transfers ownership of your trademark. As a trademark attorney, I have helped clients in similar situations both draft trademark assignments and record them with the USPTO to ensure that the trademark reflects the right ownership information. I would be happy to have a brief free 15 minute consult call to learn more details and see how I can help. Thanks for your consideration.
