Once you download something in your computer, you are committing copyright infringement. IP has no tails you can borrow except for a copyright defense of fair use . . . I would not like to rely upon defenses in the law. The trouble with copyright infringement is that in order to avoid that you... View More

Thank you for asking this interesting question on JUSTIA. You need a consultation with a lawyer before you try to cover all this in advance. TM Law is too highly fact bound and less or more will be required by that conversation . . . that is the full truth. Call a trademark attorney asap. Get a... View More

Privacy laws are generally determined on a state-by-state basis. However there are a number of federal laws involved in the subject matter. You also need those of us who are experienced in government because it is not clear exactly what the nature of your discoveries are or who they involve. There... View More

Please allow me to give you a very practical answer to this and it just does not apply to this question but to almost any time you may decide you want to sue someone or some business. Everything is a question of risk. If you're investment this thousands of dollars then this is a question... View More

Honestly, this is work. This falls under the category of business. You can still find highly rated and experienced attorneys who do entertainment law here on Justia. Look for attorneys in smaller areas, still Metropolitan areas, where the cost of living is not so high. You get more for your... View More

Please accept my condolences for this tragedy. I would start worth people know about lost things and your situation. Your jurisdiction is different than mine but people are not different. I would call the local probate court or better yet go there and talk to people who have encountered the same... View More

It is absolutely impossible to answer your question as much as i'd really like to. This happens time and time again and everything depends upon an entertainment lawyer reviewing the agreement. We have so much experience and there are so many moves to make that you really need professional... View More

I am very sorry about your predicament but want to tell you that regardless of the terms, It makes no difference. The people who run the site make the rules. No way for us to tell.

I'm sorry but your question is not clear because you wrote about the TM then developing a product? I suggest you talk to an IP attorney and not put your info online.

You are asking a question that actually cannot be answered without sufficiently looking at the particular rules involved. Generally speaking if it is not material or does not materialy influence the outcome, it may or may not be important.

This really amounts to a small claim and I would not be worried about it and would print out the information that you sent prior to 60 days and my guess is they will do absolutely nothing about it.

It's OK the long and short about discussing things in writing is that happened historically, is that if you are writing, it is yours to write about basically as long as you are accurate.

Generally trademarks are filed the name of the user or in the user's personal name if they are going to have a company that is using the mark but haven't created a company yet.

What you're asking for is a legal opinion and I'm afraid that you cannot get it on this site you can only get it through a relationship with an attorney. That requires talent experience and research. It's the only way to roll with Trademark Law. Good luck.

Look, the information that we give you here is just that it is information and no way is it legal advice. You cannot take a piece of a product that has been and is the property of a large company and expect to get away without a problem; it doesn't happen.

Ok. You need an entertainment attorney who can understand your situation after a thorough consultation and assist you. Good luck to you

This is always a problem with things that you buy and don't own the rights to copies. You're asking what is called the blind question it really cannot be answered. Whenever you take something, and you were smart to ask, there may be tails so I would avoid it when you can.

You are asking a question in a vacuum. One major problem with the intellectual property business is it is a Show and Tell. We cannot know what you are referring to. So sorry.

If I took aspects of a smaller artist work to incorporate in my own song, could I be found guilty of copyright infringement. The answer is yes you can be. Best of luck to you. Meld your own creativity!
