In Cases of Creative Copyright, Legal Counsel from Adli Law Group is Invaluable

LOS ANGELES, July 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, copyright, patent and trademark law seems to make headlines on a regular basis. While first-rate legal counsel is a necessity for nearly everyone, a Los Angeles trademark attorney is often particularly in demand,  as the city that is home to many innovators in artistic and engineering fields alike. When in need of a copyright lawyer, Los Angeles residents come to Dr. Dariush Adli at Adli Law Group, ahead of the competition in the sprawling metropolis. This should come as no surprise, as Dr. Adli represents the sort of first-class business attorney Los Angeles creative business professionals can count on to provide invaluable wisdom in electrical and mechanical arts, class action defense, contract disputes, and nearly any other trademark, IP, or patent issue they might face.

As home to world-renowned film, television and music production facilities and headquarters, Los Angeles sees more than its share of copyright cases relating to artistic properties, characters, brands and songs. While many are valid, it can be argued that some are based out of pure greed – cases that the team at Adli Law Group is always eager to take on in order to ensure justice is served. One recent example of a company allegedly using copyright claims to unjustly secure millions of dollars in compensation is the assertion from Warner/Chappell Music Inc. of ownership to the copyright for "Happy Birthday to You."

Warner/Chappell claims exclusive copyright to the ubiquitous tune, which has been listed by Guinness World Records as the most famous song in the English language. However, Good Morning to You Productions is currently making a documentary to challenge the claim of Warner/Chappell, arguing that evidence dating to 1893 shows the song's copyright expired around 1921. The company is also involved in a class action lawsuit against Warner/Chappell, seeking monetary damages and restitution of more than $5 million in licensing fees collected by Warner/Chappell from thousands of productions who have paid licensing fees for use of the song. This fascinating case is a perfect example of the sort of work Dr. Dariush Adli and his team at Adli Law Group can accomplish with impeccable skill and an unparalleled understanding of patent law. 

Though time will tell whether the suit against Warner/Chappell Music Inc. ultimately proves successful, those seeking to protect their own copyrights or challenge the claims of others can always count on the esteemed Dr. Dariush Adli to offer truly invaluable legal counsel. If you're seeking cogent advice concerning legal strategies, care and solutions relating to patents, trademarks and copyrights, the team at Adli Law Group is eager to offer their assistance.
