Securing Copyright Protection for Choreography

Not every choreographic work qualifies for the same scope of copyright protection.
We analyze the structure and expressive elements of choreography to assess copyrightability, secure copyright registration, and clarify ownership and related rights in preparation for potential disputes.

Choreography Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement

Similarity in movement or composition does not automatically constitute copyright infringement.
We assess protectable expression and substantial similarity to determine infringement and, where necessary, pursue a phased response including cease-and-desist notices, negotiations, damages claims, and litigation.
