Copyright

In the field of copyright and publishing law, we represent our clients before German courts as well as in cross-border disputes in relation to copyright protection of software, databases and other commercial works and related rights of a creative character. This particularly involves identifying the legitimate rights holder and the various digital means of exploitation, such as making works publicly available on the internet or using multimedia works. A particular area of BARDEHLE PAGENBERG’s activities involves drafting individual agreements granting rights of use.

Typical sectors in which we advise clients in copyright matters include the media, furniture and music industries. A further significant area of BARDEHLE PAGENBERG’s practice involves advising clients on employees’ rights associated with copyright and remuneration issues relating thereto.
