We advise a wide range of clients (authors, performers, producers, publishers, media groups, and others) on all matters relating to the protection, exploitation, and enforcement of copyright and related rights, across all industries.
Our expertise covers both contractual matters and litigation.
We advise and assist our clients with the drafting and negotiation of all their intellectual property agreements relating to copyright (including exploitation licences, rights assignments, publishing agreements, commissioning agreements, representation agreements, audiovisual production agreements, co-production agreements, and broadcasting/distribution agreements) and related rights (including performer agreements, phonographic production and distribution agreements, and videographic production agreements).
We also regularly conduct intellectual property audits, in particular to assess whether the ownership and exploitation of the intellectual property rights attached to a company’s creations and innovations are properly secured.
We also have extensive experience in pre-litigation and copyright litigation matters, again across a broad range of sectors, from publishing and audiovisual media to applied arts.
