The Arts
FLG protects art galleries and artists in all kinds of media, including photography, paint, drawing, sculpture, and film. We protect artists whose work is reproduced, even in another medium, without their authorization. We also work out details of this authorization, should the artist wish to give it.
Artists can easily and inexpensively copyright their works, which is a prerequisite to bringing suit for copyright infringement. Copyright registration can protect art in individual pieces, or in collections. It is important for artists to copyright works quickly after creating them, which can make a reward of monetary damages awards much simpler, and can allow artists to receive their attorneys’ fees for the suit.
FLG will work to negotiate consignment or sales contracts between artists, galleries and buyers to achieve the best results for its client, and can even give the artists rights to its works that last beyond the point of sale.
Additionally, FLG helps artists and galleries protect their goodwill within the industry by obtaining a trademark registration for their name or associated logo. Consumers typically associate the quality of a product with the unique name of the company responsible for the creation of that product. Thus, it is important to protect the unique name and accumulated goodwill.
FLG efficiently handles the details, explaining in plain terms artists’ rights and alternatives so that artists can concentrate on what is most important to them: their art.
