What Is Copyright Litigation and When Should a Copyright Holder Consider It?
Copyright litigation arises when the owner of a creative work believes someone has infringed their exclusive rights without permission, and the owner pursues legal remedies to stop the infringement and recover damages. Copyright holders in the United States benefit from federal statutory protections that grant them the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, display, and prepare derivative works based on their original creations. When infringement occurs, a copyright holder may file suit in federal court under the Copyright Act, which provides both injunctive relief and monetary remedies.
