Live Webinar CLE: Defending Small Businesses Against Image Copyright Demand Letters and Copyright Claims Board Actions
Organized image licensing campaigns are sending small businesses inflated demand letters and Copyright Claims Board threats over a single image. Many of these small businesses are settling for more than the claim is actually worth. On September 18, Klemchuk PLLC Founder/Managing Partner, Darin Klemchuk, is leading a live, 2-hour CLE session that equips attorneys with a step-by-step framework for evaluating any demand letter, identifying whether the sender is a serial litigant, and positioning the client for the most cost-effective resolution.

What You'll Learn
01 — Demand Letter Triage: how to run the verification protocol — registration timing, ownership, and the alleged use — before responding, and how to identify whether the sender is a serial enforcement litigant.
02 — Real Damages Exposure: mapping realistic exposure under 17 U.S.C. §§ 412 and 504(c) against how the March 2026 Prepared Food Photos v. Jaber jury valued a single-image use by a small business.
03 — Settlement Positioning: negotiation strategy grounded in actual market value rather than inflated statutory threats, positioning the client for the most cost-effective resolution.
04 — CCB Caseload Realities: what the Board's jurisdiction, damage caps, and caseload data tell defense counsel about claimant attrition and settlement posture.
05 — The Opt-Out Calculus: the strategic decision before the 60-day deadline — weighing the CCB's damage caps against federal court statutory damages exposure, using the claimant's litigation history and registration status.
06 — Defense Through Resolution: filing the response, deploying available defenses, avoiding default, and navigating discovery, written submissions, settlement, and final determination.
