Copyrights

Copyright is perhaps the most diverse intellectual property right, protecting works from books to computer software and from symphonies to broadcast transmissions. 

We pride ourselves not only on our specialist knowledge, but also our extensive experience and understanding of the industries that our clients operate in.  By working closely together, we are able to assist you in identifying areas of your business which are capable of benefiting from copyright protection and help you maximise the financial rewards through properly protecting and exploiting the same.

Our team advises on copyright issues in a range of sectors, with a particular focus on software, publishing, retail, automotive and media industries and was recently awarded second place by the British Legal Awards for the Technology, Media and Telecommunications/IP Team of the Year 2007.

We have been involved in reported cases involving the copyright protection in circuit diagrams for the US music mixer company Mackie Designs Inc and in designs of logos, protecting the Dr Martens brand.
