Williams & Jensen has closely guarded our clients' copyright, patent, and trademark interests for more than twenty years. The firm represents some of the nation's most successful creators of sound recordings, motion pictures, and publications on domestic copyright issues.
Over the years, we have steered clients through contentious and often unpredictable Congressional and Executive Branch deliberations. We also have worked extensively on legislation related to patents and trademarks, maintaining close contacts with officials at the Patent and Trademark Office and at the House and Senate Judiciary Committees that oversee the agency.
In a constantly changing IP climate, representation that protects clients
The substantive and political debates that led to the consideration and adoption of the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992 began a new chapter in copyright protection. Williams & Jensen was deeply involved in the Home Recording Act and subsequent copyright law battles. These include the Digital Performance Right in Sound Recording Act, Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension and Fairness in Music Licensing Act, and the debate over Napster and P2P file-sharing systems.
Today, with the content and technology industries and their Congressional allies locked in a political stalemate, Williams & Jensen is preparing for the next major revision to copyright law. We are staying in close contact with our allies in the House and Senate and the Executive Branch, and vigorously safeguarding clients’ interests as developments unfold.
