Welcome to Your Intellectual Property Attorney

Offering the sound counsel of an experienced attorney, enhanced by AI-powered guidance.

Federal Way Copyright Infringement Attorney & Copyright Lawyer

Searching for a Federal Way, Washington copyright attorney or copyright lawyer to help with a potential or active copyright infringement dispute? Whether you believe someone has copied your work without permission, received a DMCA takedown notice, need help sending or responding to a takedown, or are evaluating enforcement options before filing a lawsuit, we help clients assess risk and strategy before disputes escalate into costly intellectual property litigation. We also advise on key defenses and deal pathways—such as whether alleged use may qualify as fair use, and whether the dispute can be resolved through a license, permission, or other agreement that protects your business goals.

If you’re still evaluating your options, try our custom (experimental) RAG copyright chatbot for general, educational information about common copyright issues—such as what qualifies as copyrightable subject matter, how fair use is commonly analyzed, ownership and authorship questions, licensing and permission considerations, and DMCA takedown and counter-notice procedures. When you’re ready to discuss your specific facts, risks, and goals, you can schedule a meeting with Mitchell.

I provide legal services throughout the Puget Sound region and, when appropriate, am available to meet in person with clients in Federal Way to discuss intellectual property matters and strategy.
