Legal Advice on Copyright Law and New Media

The protection of intellectual property – in particular texts, images, and trademarks – is an important means for companies to distinguish themselves from competitors and thus a decisive competitive advantage. At the same time, the digital environment and the internet entail an increased risk of legal infringements. Where such uses concern images or texts, copyright law provisions must always be taken into account.

Intellectual creations, as works of an author, are generally protected by law. However, ensuring effective protection of your intellectual property for your business requires professional advice from a copyright attorney. Whether software, images, illustrations, texts, or films – protect yourself before disputes arise due to copyright infringements. Companies that advertise externally and create marketing content with texts and images themselves or through agencies are often exposed to legal disputes. If you receive a cease-and-desist letter from a photographer, an image agency, or other rights holders, good legal advice is invaluable – but time is of the essence.
