Copyright
Copyright reflects human knowledge, skills and talent – it creates the beauty of our world, and we must protect the author’s input in return.
Copyright protection is significant to ensure the legitimate circulation of artwork.
The purpose of copyright protection is twofold: protection of value and interests of the author and promotion of science and useful arts.
We can help authors navigate control over their rights to copy, edit, perform or broadcast, mainly if new business opportunities or infringements occur.
This control lasts for 70 years after the author’s death, giving plenty of time for enforcing and exploiting it through licensing.
Benefits
Wide range of problem-solving
We specialise in dealing with a wide range of issues, from unlawful use of copyrighted content to transfer or gain of copyright. We have advised our clients who have created various artistic expressions in a recorded form – codes, designs, photographs and many more.
Explicit approach to exploitation and enforcement
Ownership, contractual terms, and content stealing on the internet are the most common problems we can help you unravel and find solutions for. Copyright also consists of several related rights (neighbouring rights), all of which we can help you enforce, acquire, sell or attract royalties.
Understanding the battle of copyright challenges
Mainly copyright protection is obtained automatically, which can cause challenges in the digital era to preserve authors’ rights.
We are ready to assist you with establishing your copyright in a precise manner to avoid future conflicts.
We can also help you negotiate and draft agreements for the creation, licensing, franchising, acquisition or sale of copyright.
We are committed to helping negotiate and draft the terms of such agreements, including aspects of ownership rights, safeguards, pricing, scope, indemnities, warranties and many more.
If a dispute arises, we can also represent clients in legal proceedings.
