Intellectual Property and Media Law
Copyright; film, television and digital content; licensing, broadcasting, trade mark and media disputes.
Protecting rights from creation through publication
From creation to commercial exploitation, ownership, chain of title, licence scope and alleged infringements are considered together.
Production, co-production, licensing, distribution and broadcasting agreements for films, television series, scripts, formats, music and digital content are reviewed or drafted with particular attention to the rights granted, media, term and territory.
Where unauthorised reproduction, adaptation, publication or communication to the public is alleged, preservation of evidence, interim measures, cessation of infringement and potential damages claims are assessed according to the facts and applicable law.
Before an application or court route is chosen, the legal framework, available documents, procedural time limits and potential claims are considered together. The appropriate course depends on the facts of the individual matter.
