Copyright lawyers are specially educated and trained to handle matters pertaining to intellectual property law including copyright, trademark, and patents. The basis of copyright law is to determine who owns the rights to creative output such as works of art, computer programs, books, and inventions. The creator of the work is deemed to have ownership without any paperwork, however owners of such work can file for the necessary licensing like a formal copyright, patent or trademark.

Lawyers handling issues with copyright, trademark, and patents also handle infringement, which is the use of an individual's intellectual property without necessary permission. Copyright lawyers will assist in filing for copyright, trademark, and patents and also deal with infringement cases to secure any monetary damages that may have resulted from the unauthorized use.
