Copyright Lawyers
Copyright can be the unsung hero in businesses’ IP portfolios. It arises automatically without registration in the UK and other territories including the EU, and offers protection on an international scale.
Protection covers a wide variety of media including artistic, musical and literary works alongside broadcasts, films and performances. These can include fashion and jewellery designs, technical drawings and models, software, advertisements and web designs to name a few.
