]]>Unauthorized use may occur when:
1. A party with no prior relationship to the artist or photographer uses the art without permission.
2. When a party with whom the artist or photographer has a relationship uses the artwork beyond the scope of a license agreement.
An attorney can help you assert your rights by demanding that the offending party cease and desist from using your intellectual property. Often times contact from an attorney will cause the offending party to stop using your art. Moreover, a cease and desist letter to the offending party can be used as evidence in court to show that the artist reserved his or her rights and tried to resolve the issue outside of court.
An attorney can also help you recover compensation for unauthorized use.
