Legal Question in Technology Law in Oregon

Re: Wesite designers will not remove items I paid for

Unless you have a written contract clarifying who owns the rights, she probably does. This issue come up often because most people don't consult an attorney before they create intellectual property, companies, etc. Feel free to contact us and we will charge a reasonable fee to go over any agreements you had, emails, etc. and tell you your chances. But you might want to just let the new owner handle this because they didn't purchase the rights and they obviously didn't think to confirm your rights to the logos before they paid you; so objectively you are in the same position as the web designer, except of course that she probably knows the law and didn't think enough of her customer to clarify this point and negotiate the price accordingly. So you could try to sue, maybe in small claims court, and argue that she knew the law and that you did not, but I really don't know what the result would be. We can research it for you.
