Protecting Copyrights in Estate Transfers for Creative Professionals.
Did you know that famous cases involving the original Superman comic books and classic works by John Steinbeck can have serious implications for your clients, particularly if you represent artists, writers, musicians, architects or even engineers? Experienced intellectual property litigator Peter Afrasiabi provides the key guidance that you need to know about how copyright operates when estates are transferred, including that previously assigned copyrights can be recovered by authors or heirs, transfer of copyright through a trust is not protected and copyrighted works are assets that may be worth large sums of money to heirs of the creator.
