Software and Media Licensing Lawyer

Intellectual property includes software and other forms of media. The creators of the property have the right to protect their work and expect others to pay for using it or profit from it through resale or other means.

What are Media and Software Licenses?

Intellectual property licenses inform the audience about who created the media or owns the rights to it. For consumers, software and media companies frequently display abbreviated license descriptions on their products or through electronic means. The provided information will explain how the consumer or other entity can use the media or software.

There are various licenses available to provide the licensee (the consumer) with instructions on how to use the software or media. Original software and media creators may require the services of a media and software licensing lawyer or law firm to create a legally binding, comprehensive document to protect their work.

Types of Media and Software Licenses:

  • Free Licenses

  • End-User License

  • General Public License

  • Perpetual Licenses

  • Subscription Licenses

Intellectual property creators should consult with a media and software licensing attorney about the copyrights they own. Contributors to the projects may also be granted copyright for parts of the software they created. Only the software's creators have the authority to grant licensing rights to others. The attorney can advise you on which rights to grant and how to present them to potential licensees.

Producers of digital property have an almost limitless market to work with because consumers are constantly looking for new software for their business and personal needs. For a consultation, contact Perdomo Law.
