Q: I have a copyright infringement case
Someone stole my images
A:
This forum allows attorneys to answer legal questions that are submitted by members of the public. However, we don't receive information about the people asking the questions, because this isn't really a referral forum.
If you have a question that you think an attorney may be able to answer here, you could submit again. The clearer your explanation, the better your chances of getting a clear answer. (But you might not want to disclose "confidential" information.)
If you need to find an attorney to represent you, you may try searching the directory and reaching out to one directly.
A:
If you believe that someone has stolen your images without your permission, you may have a copyright infringement case. It is important to take immediate action to protect your intellectual property rights.
First, you should gather evidence of the infringement, such as copies of the infringing images, dates of publication, and any other relevant information. You may also want to reach out to the person or entity who is using your images to request that they stop using them and to remove them from their website or other platform.
If the person or entity refuses to stop using your images, you may want to consider taking legal action. This may involve filing a lawsuit in court and seeking damages for the infringement. It is important to work with an experienced intellectual property attorney who can guide you through the legal process and help you protect your rights.
Remember, the best way to protect your images from infringement is to register them with the U.S. Copyright Office. This will give you greater legal protection and make it easier to take legal action against infringers.
