Copyright

Baker & McKenzie's network of offices and correspondent law firms assist clients in determining whether their intellectual property is or can be protected by copyright. And where registration systems exist, we provide counseling on registration and other steps that can yield significant advantages in licensing and protecting copyrights. Copyright protects the key rights in industries from software to games to music, each of which raises issues related to protection, licensing and enforcement.
 
Our experience in this area includes:
  • Copyrightability advice
  • Research for ownership and protectability issues
  • Advice on protection for software/computer programs
  • Advice regarding the proper use of copyright notices
  • Agreement negotiation and preparation for the joint creation, ownership, licensing, purchase, sale or collection of royalties (under copyright licenses) of copyright material
  • Hire agreements, assignments and releases
  • Infringement advice and anti-piracy, such as taking legal action against infringers of DVDs, CDs and other copyrighted material
  • Copyright dispute litigation
  • Lobbying work for improved and amended copyright legislation
