Copyright

At Ava Li Law PLLC, we are often asked: “Do I really need to worry about copyright?”

The short answer is: yes. Copyright protection is not just for famous artists or huge technology companies.
It is for anyone who creates software, content, designs, or art and wants to ensure their hard work remains their own, no matter the size of their business.

Many creators think their work is “too small” or “not ready” to protect. In reality, copyright is about much more than just a legal certificate. It is about control. It decides who owns the code you built, who gets paid for your designs, and whether you have the power to stop a competitor from copying your brand when you succeed.

Individual Creators & Freelancers

You might think you are just starting out, but your initial designs, photos, or code snippets have value. Establishing ownership early ensures that you get paid fairly for your work and prevents clients or strangers from using your creations without permission.

Startups & Founders

This is a critical time to protect your growing assets. Investors need to see that your company actually owns its intellectual property, not the freelancers you hired. Proper copyright assignments and registrations at this stage are often the deciding factor in securing funding.

Established Businesses

As your market presence grows, so does the risk of theft. For mature companies, protection means actively stopping copycats and generating revenue through licensing agreements. It ensures your hard-earned market position remains secure.

Copyright services are not just about filing paperwork. They are about clarity, value, and security. No matter your stage of growth, having a copyright strategy means you decide how your work is used, how your brand is protected, and how your creativity turns into a financial asset. Have questions?
