Copyright protects original creative works and arises automatically without registration. Almost every business creates copyright in the course of its operations, whether in software, marketing materials, website content, or products developed with third parties. Understanding who owns the copyright and making sure it is properly protected is essential.
We advise on copyright ownership, licensing, and enforcement, and act in infringement disputes. Where infringement has occurred, we advise on the best course of action, using alternative dispute resolution or litigation depending on the circumstances.
