Copyright law

Copyright law offers protection to creators and rights holders by giving them rights over original works, spanning writing code, literary, musical, and artistic creations. We advise clients on all matters concerning copyright, from creating original works, licensing agreements and copyright protection to matters related to unauthorised use of copyrights.

Trademarks

Trademarks encompass symbols, names, phrases, motions or even sounds that are legally registered or established through their use to represent a company or a product. They play a pivotal role in brand identity, helping companies distinguish their products and services. Our team of attorneys assists clients in all matters related to trademarks, whether it concerns registering trademarks, licensing, allocation of the ownership rights in trademarks, trademark requirements, or disputes concerning unauthorised use.

With our understanding of the legislation relevant to patents and industrial designs, we’re focused on protecting our clients’ innovative endeavours.

Trade secrets

Trade secret law safeguards businesses by securing confidential and proprietary information that gives them a competitive edge. This includes formulas, practices, designs, instruments, or compilations of information not generally known or reasonably ascertainable by others. Our services encompass advising clients on identifying and protecting trade secrets, implementing non-disclosure agreements, and developing strategies to maintain the confidentiality of these critical assets. We also offer counsel on issues related to the misappropriation of trade secrets, ensuring our clients’ innovations remain their exclusive property.

Strategies for safeguarding digital intellectual assets

In our increasingly digital world, businesses need to adopt strategies to safeguard their digital intellectual assets and to avoid unauthorized use of third-party assets by their employees that might lead to disputes and damage claims. We help our clients in developing strategies to protect digital intellectual assets and using such assets effectively within their organizations.

GDPR audits are an essential component for businesses operating within or dealing with the European Union, ensuring compliance with the stringent standards of data protection and privacy set by the General Data Protection Regulation.

These contracts need to address specifics like scope, deliverables, payments, and potential dispute resolutions.
Licensing agreements

Licensing agreements in the IT industry are the day-to-day tools for defining the terms under which software or technology can be used or distributed. Our team of IT/IP lawyers supports clients in designing clear terms for usage rights, payment structures, restrictions, and potential avenues for license renewals or terminations.

AI law is a largely unregulated field where a vast magnitude of rules arises from contracts. We advise our clients in defining the terms of such agreements, in AI-related regulatory matters, as well as in assessing the use of AI tools for business purposes.
