Copyright & related rights
We advise our clients on a daily basis on copyright and related rights issues, in sectors ranging from textiles, fashion and sport, to advertising, IT and digital media, and in relation to works as diverse as paintings, photographs, sound recordings, software, websites, corporate documents and databases.
Copyright, with its allied rights such as database rights for businesses and moral rights for authors, remains a central and valuable form of protection not only for the creative industries but also in relation to the work output of every person working in every industry.
As well as advising some of our clients on a regular basis in relation to the protection and commercial exploitation of their creativity, we are engaged equally often by other of our clients to advise on copyright and related issues concerning the protection of their business materials and databases.
We are experts in:
- The creation, subsistence and ownership of copyright and related rights
- The licensing and exploitation of copyright and related rights
- Copyright related litigation and dispute resolution
