Copyright

Prosecution

Copyright prosecution involves assisting clients in securing and managing copyright registrations before the relevant authorities. Although copyright protection generally arises automatically upon the creation of a work, registration provides significant evidentiary benefits and facilitates the enforcement of rights. Our services include:

  • Advising clients on the eligibility of works for copyright protection.
  • Preparing and filing copyright registration applications.
  • Assisting in documenting authorship and ownership arrangements.
  • Advice on managing copyright portfolios and on the commercialization and licensing of copyrighted works.

Contentious

Disputes relating to copyright infringement may arise when unauthorized acts are committed in respect of protected works, whether in physical or digital form. These disputes may involve individuals, businesses, content creators, publishers, or other parties engaged in the creation, distribution, or commercial exploitation of such works. Our contentious services include:

  • Addressing unauthorized copying or reproduction of protected works.
  • Taking action against unauthorized distribution of works to the public, including through digital platforms.
  • Handling disputes involving the unauthorized public performance or communication of works.
  • Resolving issues relating to the unauthorized adaptation, modification, or derivative use of protected works.
  • Preparing and responding to warning letters relating to alleged copyright infringement.
  • Assisting clients in resolving disputes through commercially practical solutions, including negotiation, settlement, and enforcement actions, among others.
