IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT LEGAL SERVICE YOU NEED…

If you are not sure what legal service you need (for instance, should you incorporate or form an LLC), start by choosing whether you would like a “Legal Advice Phone Call” or “Legal Advice by Web Cam/Skype” for a 30-minute consultation with the firm’s attorney.

• If you choose to retain the firm for further legal services after your consultation, the price of the consultation will be credited toward the cost of the legal service package you ultimately choose. Once the balance of payment is received, the firm’s licensed, practicing attorney will begin working on your package.

CEASE AND DESIST LETTERS

Cease and desist letters are strategic documents, from their content to the timing of when to send them, which is why intellectual property rights owners should not rely on “one size fits all” solutions offered by non-lawyer online legal services websites.  Cease and desist letters (also known as “demand” letters) should not be written in a vacuum without legal advice, and that is why 30-minute consultations are given with every cease and desist letter package.

BUSINESS FORMATIONS

If you are considering a new business formation in California and don’t know whether to form a corporation or start an LLC, Creative Vision Legal offers comprehensive legal advice with every business formation package.  If you are in a band, you may want to consider a band partnership agreement, which can help avoid common legal pitfalls by clarifying each band member’s rights and responsibilities.

TRADEMARK REGISTRATIONS

A trademark registration deters others from using a name, slogan, or logo that is confusingly similar to yours.  A band name registration or business name trademark registration forms the backbone of your efforts to market and sell your goods and services, and represents a valuable investment in your intellectual property portfolio.

COPYRIGHT REGISTRATIONS

A copyright registration is a valuable, yet affordable form of protection for intellectual property such as musical compositions, recordings, paintings, photographs, and even websites.  Once an IP asset has copyright protection through registration with the U.S. Copyright Office, you have the right to sue infringers of your works, and under certain circumstances may be awarded up to $150,000 for infringement along with other remedies unavailable to owners of unregistered works.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CONTRACTS

Intellectual property contracts like nondisclosure agreements, licensing agreements, and collaboration agreements can help artists, bands, and businesses protect their intellectual property rights and get paid.  With every intellectual property contract package, you get a 30-minute legal consultation so your document is customized to your circumstances.
