QUESTION
My art director left my design firm, and without permission is now posting work he did while here, billing as "his own" on his Company website.
Asked on Oct 31st, 2012 on Business Law - Rhode Island
More details to this question:
Is this legal to do? He has logos, website design and advertising, all linking back to my clients websites, and portraying that his Company did this work. He certainly aided in the work's creation, but is misrepresenting his role and his Company by doing this ¿ especially without permission.

An attorney will need to review the precise uses being made by your former employee to determine whether these uses qualify as "fair use" under the Copyright Act. As a general matter, you have the right to demand that these uses stop. Whether it will be worth your while to litigate this issue depends on the commercial harm being caused to you.
