Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Massachusetts

Copyright Infringement

I have cartoon characters which were copywritten in 1982, they are now on the Disney channel...but not with my consent, they were stolen. Is there an attorney who will represent me in the matter on a contingency fee basis. I have material evidence that these are mine.

Re: Copyright Infringement

If you have a properly filed copyright you may have a very good case. The issue will relate to whether and how they copied your characters.

You should know in advance that Disney does not negotiate about copyright infringements they simply litigate them. They are a very tough company to get any concession on any character.

Please feel free to contact me without obligation to discuss your case. I formerly was Executive Director of a UK film studio and practice both business and entetainment law, including copyright.

Re: Copyright Infringement

If you mean that you have copyright registrations in hand, a contingent representation is possible. If you simply have copyright arising under the 1976 Copyright Act but have not registered the works, you have a rather less appealing case. Please contact me if you need more information on your specific situation.

Best wishes,
