Your creative work is yours—make sure it stays that way. Copyright law results in one of the simplest and strongest forms of intellectual property protection. It kicks in the moment your work is created, lasts for decades, and applies worldwide.
But just because it’s automatic doesn’t mean it’s effortless. Ownership, enforcement, and commercial use can get tricky. That’s where Arcade’s copyright lawyers come in.
If you create art, writing, music, or performances, you’ve got copyright. Copyright law protects four main categories:
Ownership isn’t always straightforward. If employees or collaborators create something, who actually owns it—the employer or the employees? It depends on the circumstances, the contracts that are in place, and the law. You control how your work is used. Others need your permission (and often, payment) to use it.
Registering copyright makes enforcement easier. While copyright exists automatically, a registered copyright makes legal action faster and stronger.
Ownership & Contracts – We ensure your rights are locked in from the start.
Commercialization – We’ll help you make money from your work, without losing control.
Enforcement & Litigation – We stop copycats and unauthorized use before it costs you.
Your work is valuable. We make sure you own it, protect it, and get paid for it.
Trademarks are country-specific, so what works in Canada won’t automatically protect you elsewhere. If you’re expanding globally, we’ll make sure your brand is locked down wherever you do business.
We help businesses strategize, file, and enforce their trademarks in Canada and worldwide, without wasting time or money on registrations that won’t hold up.
Protect and lock in your brand before someone else does. Let’s talk.
