Consulting on Copyright Issues & Solutions
Our expert copyright consultants will identify your copyright issues and devise a plan for addressing them. They will clarify complex copyright laws and answer specific questions you may have about copyright.
Our consultants also can offer advice on using artificial intelligence in your creative projects.
Consultations to identify copyright issues
- Copyright consulting services are provided either on an hourly “as needed” basis or on a project basis.
- An initial consultation is used to start the process of identifying copyright issues and concerns regarding the client’s works.
- Each initial consultation includes a copy of our award-winning guide Copyright Clearance for Creatives. These guidelines clarify copyright issues and identify potential solutions for clients.
Comprehensive Manuscript Review
Clients will be asked to provide details about all preexisting (third party) content they want to use in their own work.
- The content creator is responsible for identifying preexisting content and primary sources.
- For books, a complete manuscript review can be conducted to determine content under copyright protection that may need to be cleared.
- The cost for a manuscript review is determined by the number of preexisting items and length and complexity of the work to be reviewed.
Customized copyright compliance strategies
The manuscript review will identify the scope of any additional consultation and/or clearance services needed. If the proposed scope of work is more than two hours of additional consulting, we will submit a proposal with terms and conditions. This lets the client know what to expect in terms of time, expense, and deliverables.
Guidance on fair use and public domain materials
Content creators often have questions about the fair use of materials under copyright protection. Unfortunately, there is a lot of confusion and misinformation about the fair use doctrine.

Tracking Strategies for transparent AI-content disclosure
The U.S. Copyright Office, publishers, and platforms like Amazon KDP are now requiring transparent disclosure of AI-generated content in registration, publication, and distribution submissions. We will assist you in creating a recordkeeping system that will enable you to track and share how you used AI to produce the works submitted.
