Monetise creativity with our copyright services
The copyright system plays a vital role in enabling creators to monetise their creativity by providing an exclusive right to reproduce and disclose eligible creative work. While the right comes into being automatically on a work’s creation (in most jurisdictions), it is still advisable to take legal advice when seeking to substantiate and enforce copyright protection.
The role of copyright services
Understanding copyright is crucial for protecting the intellectual property assets of any business. By respecting copyrights, legal issues can be avoided, such as infringement claims, which can result in costly lawsuits, damage to reputation, and loss of revenue. Additionally, you can leverage copyright laws to protect your or your business’ creations, ensuring you have the exclusive rights to the products and content, which can be a valuable competitive advantage in the market.
If your brand assets – such as brand names, logos or websites –are designed or created by a third party, it’s crucial to ensure that the copyright involved is assigned to you/ your business by its creator. Failure to do so can lead to numerous problems, including blocking your ability to enforce or even use the branding.
Due to the overlap between copyright, trademark and design rights, it can be difficult for creators to know which IP protection route to take. Figurative (device) and 3D trademarks, in particular, can be full of creative elements that are eligible for copyright protection, and this is even more true for designs. This means that trademark owners suing third parties for infringement may be able to invoke copyright and design rights in addition to trademark rights.
