Need help with an intellectual property issue where our 501 (C) (3) has been notified we need to pay for license

Answered 7 years and 4 months ago by Ms. Lisa A Dunner (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
If the PicRights image required a license to use, it may very well be entitled to a license fee for past use, but I do not know how they came up with the proposed fee of $1245.  You should review PicRights Terms of Use on their website to learn more about what they do and do not allow with their images.  Feel free to reach out to us if you need more assistance....

Can my former employer continue to use the programs I wrote after I'm gone?

Answered 11 years and 8 months ago by Darren R. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
If you created the programs during the scope of your employment, they probably qualify as "works for hire".  If so, then yes they can use the programs.   You can read about works for hire here.  http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ09.pdf

Do you have to pay royalties for performing a Batman/Joker stunt show at a convention?

Answered 12 years and 2 months ago by Todd A. Sullivan (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
You would need to get permission from the rights holder and that permission may include a requirement to pay royalties. Lines from the comics would raise copyright concerns, but the first hurdle is overcoming the trademarks issues.  I think Time Warner owns DC comics and has licensed its rights to live entertainment, at least in part, to the Six Flags owners. You'd be better off having a stunt show featuring a dark, brooding anti-hero character battling a crazy psychopath. If you can keep to the comic book stereotypes and not do anything to identify with those specific characters, you could avoid licensing while using a generic storyline with which your market is comfortable. Good luck, Todd... Read More

I have designed an educational product which uses the likenesses of people throughout history. What can I legally do or what do I need to do?

Answered 13 years and 8 months ago by attorney Hilary B. Miller   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Intellectual Property
As a general matter, the likenesses of long-dead people may be used for commercial purposes without the consent of their estates. There are some limited post-mortem "publicity" rights regarding certain celebrities granted under state law, but these rights generally do not endure for more than 70 years after death. See California’s Publicity Rights statute, CAL. CIV. CODE § 3344.1. An attorney can assist you in working through the issues involved.... Read More

Quite possibly. Under the doctrine of "easement by necessity," the owner of the landlocked parcel may have the right to cross your land if it is absolutely necessary to do so in order to access his land. See an attorney for further information based on a detailed review of your facts.
