Copyright
Copyright law is an intellectual property right and gives legal
protection to owners of original work, allowing them exclusive rights
to reproduce their work and license other to do so.
Copyright
applies to a wide range of business areas including media and
entertainment, manufacturing, software developers, publishers,
information technology, online services and web based businesses.
If
you are a business, copyright can be a valuable source of revenue.
Clarkes can advise you whether copyright exists in your work and help
you manage intellectual property rights in contracts including
licensing agreements, sales of copyright and other forms of
intellectual property.
Clarkes have experience dealing directly
with copyright collection agencies for copyright owners such as
authors, composers, musicians or photographers to ensure licensing
agreements are honoured.
Clarkes can advise on copyright disputes both in the UK and
internationally and work closely with clients on issues such as
infringement, dispute resolution and anti-counterfeiting.
