Problem: Martin has written many songs and stories which never published until now. A musical band read one of his songs and wants to record it as a single on their next album. As luck has it, Martin has been informed that a publishing company wants to publish a manuscript of his as a book. Martin has no experience dealing with music and book royalties and is afraid that the contracts prepared by the band’s recording company and the book’s publishing company may take advantage of his ignorance by paying him less than what he deserves.

Solution: We can provide Martin with legal, taxation, and profit management services which can ensure that his rights are protected with the upcoming contracts and with minimizing his income taxes along with royalties’ management.

Our Intellectual Property services can assure Martin that his songs and manuscripts are legally Copyrighted and his Royalty Payments will be fair. Song writers have rights and are entitled to large royalties as long as they follow the law in order to protect and assert their artistic rights. We can help Martin to achieve this. Licensing contracts (of his Copyrighted works to musicians, record companies, and book publishers) can be tricky which requires competent and experienced legal assistance which we can provide.

Royalty payments can occur for many years based on the success of the song and his book. His songs can be used by other musicians who must pay additional royalties as a licensed user of Martin’s songs. Follow up albums by the original band using Marin’s single will lead to further royalty payments. If Martin’s book should end up being used for a movie, a play, or a TV show; new licensing contracts along with licensing fees and royalties will need to be negotiated and paid in which we can help Martin with.

We can even provide him with Profit Management services should Martin’s royalty’s amount to large payments which Martin may not know what to do with his new found wealth.

Our intellectual properties services protect artists and inventors, lower their taxes, and manage their profits.
