Our lawyers counsel clients on a variety of copyright matters in such diverse fields as advertising, printed and on-line publications and computer software and on broadcasting rights (neighbouring rights). They are active in the preparation and filing of copyright registrations, and frequently advise clients on such matters as “work made for hire” issues to ensure that firm clients own the copyrights to works they pay to have created. Our lawyers are also extensively involved in counselling clients regarding Internet related copyright issues, including those involving framing, linking, and web site development and ownership. Members of the Group also draft company e-mail and Internet usage policies.
