The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A., we work closely with clients to learn about their works and ensure their trademarks reflect their brand identity and meet legal requirements.

Copyright and AI-Generated Content
AI is changing the world at a faster speed than the general public expected. We know that whenever something is getting the spotlight, that there is no shortage of those seeking to profit with fast money and gimmicks. Since the law changes a lot slower than technology does, there has been a lot of confusion regarding AI-generated content and "works." While the U.S. Copyright Office tried to clarify in 2023 and 2024 by taking the position that fully autonomous AI output is not subject to copyright -- human authors can still protect AI-assisted content and innovations if there is meaningful creative input.
While AI cases are now stepping stones for the law to catch up to some technology, our offices are committed to learning about your work and using current law plus developments to protect you with:
-
Unauthorized use of audio/video and derivative mix issues (YouTube / TikTok / Instagram Reels)
-
Copyright eligibility of AI-assisted code or ML models (GitHub / Copilot)
-
Use of AI art in brand identity, print media, and NFTs (Midjourney / DALL-E)
-
Visual artists and photographers enforcing portfolio rights online
The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A., we try to advise clients on how to structure AI-enhanced content legally, where we try to use licensing agreements that cover co-created works, and avoid legal traps. Remember, while we all love AI and its use, sometimes being realistic that prompting and datasets are important and using a human lawyer might help.
Legal Remedies for Copyright Enforcement
When someone uses your copyrighted content without your permission—whether online, in print, reusing code, or as part of a commercial product—they might be violating 17 U.S.C. § 501, which prohibits unauthorized use of any exclusive right granted to the copyright owner. This, of course, is contingent on whether you had a right to protect. To clarify, in Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 464 U.S. 417 (1984), the Supreme Court ruled that contributory infringement can give rise to liability when someone facilitates illegal copying of protected content. Well, now you know why TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram probably took down your post with your favorite song.
After consulting with us to see if you have a viable claim, The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A. then can take swift and decisive legal action to:
-
Issue cease-and-desist letters
-
Submit DMCA takedown notices on your behalf under 17 U.S.C. § 512
-
Pursue negotiated settlements or licensing arrangements
-
Pursue injunctions to prevent further use
Need to protect your copyright?
At The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A, we help creators, entrepreneurs, and content producers protect the original works they produce—whether they’re artists, authors, developers, or AI-enhanced creators.

FLORIDA TRADE SECRET ATTORNEY SERVICES
At The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A., we help individuals and businesses protect valuable information that drives their success. This could mean that someone took the key to your business -- that key isn't always the one that you use to open your door with but it could come in the form of an algorithm, code, strategy, ingredient, or formula. Trade secrets don't typically require registration. We help clients implement clear protections when confidential business information is misused.
Defining and Securing Trade Secrets
A trade secret is information that meets two prongs:
-
Derives independent economic value from not being generally known
-
Is subject to reasonable efforts to maintain its secrecy
Trade secrets are protected under law:
-
A trade secret violation may invoke the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), 18 U.S.C. 1836
-
State law also protects Florida trade secrets under the Florida Uniform Trade Secrets Act (FUTSA), Fla. Stat. § 688.002
-
Florida case ReliaStar Life Ins. Co. v. Bascom, 200 So. 3d 219 (Fla. 5th DCA 2016), it was held by the court that customer lists and commission structures can qualify as trade secrets when subject to adequate confidentiality safeguards
The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A.,If your trade secret has been stolen or misused—by a former employee, vendor, or competitor—we move quickly to stop the harm and hold the wrongdoers accountable.
NDAs and Protective Contracts
Non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) are not just a tool that celebrities use to keep others quiet of information they don't want leaking out to the world, but they are also a critical tool for smaller businesses and mid-sized enterprises for maintaining trade secrets. A well-drafted NDA can:
-
Clearly define the scope of confidential material
-
Establish legal obligations to maintain confidentiality
-
Maintain fairness to avoid contract validity questions later
-
Allow you to seek injunctions or damages upon breach
At The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A., we can help you draft and enforce:
-
Employee and contractor NDAs
-
Mutual NDAs for business partnerships
-
Non-compete and non-solicitation agreements (where enforceable under Florida law)
-
Exit protocols and IP ownership agreements
When permitted and within our scope, the team at The Law Offices of Carolina Nunez, P.A. can supplement your experience as your law firm by offering a degree of security suggestions, such as tiered access control, employee training, and data classification systems.
Protecting Your Legal Rights for Trade Secret Misappropriation
If your trade secret has been stolen or misused—by a former employee, vendor, or competitor—we move quickly to stop the harm and hold the wrongdoers accountable.
Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA), 18 U.S.C. § 1836(b)(3), owners of trade secrets may obtain:
-
Temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions
-
Compensatory and punitive damages
-
Attorneys’ fees in cases of willful or malicious misappropriation
Florida courts also recognize these remedies under Fla. Stat. §688.003 and Fla. Stat. §688.004, allowing for both injunctive relief and recovery of actual losses and unjust enrichment. In Florida case, Del Monte Fresh Produce Co. v. Dole Food Co., 136 F. Supp. 2d 1271 (S.D. Fla. 2001), the court granted a preliminary injunction based on trade secret misappropriation involving pineapple varieties and supplier relationships—illustrating how broadly courts may interpret protectable information.
