Two Worlds Firm (2WF) IP Law

We offer a comprehensive library of free articles, guides, and resources on copyright law, alongside our dedicated legal services. Whether you are a photographer discovering stolen work, an artist navigating a contract, or simply seeking to understand your rights, we are here to guide you.

Our Core Practice Areas for Creators & Rights Holders

This is our primary battle. When your work is stolen and used commercially online on websites, social media and marketplaces, we take immediate action. We start with aggressive DMCA takedown campaigns and escalate to federal lawsuits to secure injunctions, recover lost profits, and claim statutory damages. We fight for your credit and your compensation.

Your strongest legal weapon is a federally registered copyright. We streamline this crucial process for photographers (including image batches), illustrators, designers, and digital artists. We develop a strategic registration plan for your catalog, turning your creative portfolio into a fortified legal asset that deters theft and maximizes potential damages.

Navigate the business of creativity with confidence. We review and draft the contracts that define your career: client work-for-hire agreements, licensing deals, gallery contracts, and collaboration agreements. Our goal is to ensure you retain the rights you deserve, get paid fairly, and avoid future disputes.

The DMCA is the first line of defense online. We manage the entire takedown process, from identifying all infringing URLs and crafting legally sound notices to dealing with hosting providers and handling fraudulent counter-notices. We systemize this for clients with widespread infringement.

Brand Protection for Creative Studios

Your name and logo are assets. We secure trademark protection for your studio, podcast, series title, or distinctive brand identity. This prevents others from using your hard-earned reputation to sell their products or services, creating a comprehensive shield around your creative business.

Website & Platform Compliance Counseling

Protect yourself and set clear rules. We draft legally robust Terms of Use, Privacy Policies, and Copyright Policies for your website, online shop, or app. This minimizes your liability, protects your user data, and clearly states how (and how not) your own creative work can be used by others.
