Copyright
Your business may have copyright in any original written work or recordings which it produces. The protection that copyright provides is that any person copying such an original written work or recording for a commercial purpose (other than permitted by the legislation) infringes that copyright and you may be able to prevent the copying and/or obtain compensation for the infringement. Once copyright is established it is an asset owned by the author.
The solicitors in our team are used to dealing with such queries as whether copyright exists in a particular article, providing opinions on copyright infringement, drafting copyright notices and disclaimers, and drafting copyright assignments and licenses. From copyright in brochures and marketing material, user manuals and web site content, to copyright in computer software, our team is well placed to advise you.
