It is no secret that the internet and social media specifically are at the center of our everyday lives. Apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and similar platforms make it easy to be a little too comfortable sharing our day to day routines and memories. These social platforms seem to be accessed by millions every single day. With so much being shared and little to monitor it, it should come at no surprise intellectual property law has seen its fair share of involvement with social media related cases.
Greenberg & Lieberman can help you and your business limit your risk of being at the center of Intellectual property rights and their involvement with social media while allowing you to maintain a social presence that is good for business.
One of the areas of intellectual property is copyright. A United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) patent attorney search will show according to the copyright laws of the United States, a person has a “common law” copyright to a creative expression once it has been expressed in a “fixed medium.” This means copyright can be expressed as anything written in emails, art, music and even post on social media.
