Copyright protects creative achievements, such as press releases, photographs, websites and computer programmes. It grants the author the exclusive right to determine the use and exploitation of the protected work. Unlike industrial property rights, copyright does not come into existence with an application or registration, but already through the creation of the work itself, provided that it fulfils the requirements for protection.
In the area of copyright law, we advise you on issues relating to the creation, use, defence and exploitation of copyrights. Copyright law contains complicated regulations on the use of the protected work by third parties - one focus of our advice is therefore the formulation of licence agreements that enable you to financially exploit your works. In addition, we support you in media and press law, broadcasting law, internet law and domain law. Contact us!
