COPYRIGHT

Protect your creative works !

By nature, artistic works (fine art, architecture, plastic and graphic arts, music etc.), applied arts (creations and productions resulting from an industrial order) but also software and its source codes, copyright covers anything that pertains to human creativity. The firm will assist you in all your copyright protection procedures.

We also operate in the field of literary and artistic property with regard to related rights (the rights of performing artists, producers of sound recordings and video recordings, audio-visual communication companies) and to assist database producers by helping to protect their investments in these databases.

Litigation in France and internationally

We will represent you in the event of pre-litigation or droits d'auteur infringement lawsuits before the French Courts, whether as plaintiff or as defendant.

At the start of the case, we manage the specific fact-finding measures in this area: the saisie-contrefaçon, to obtain evidence of the infringement of your rights. In this respect, we have developed a national network of bailiffs enabling us to intervene effectively throughout France.

Our network of international correspondents also enables us to defend your rights all over the world.

Consulting on protection matters

Copyright does not need to be registered with an office; it is established as soon as the work is created. We will help you identify what is likely to be protected in this way, to identify who the holder of these rights would be (employees, service provider, company, etc.) and pull together evidence that will enable you to date your creations with certainty and monitor them (Soleau envelope, Blockchain, etc.).

Agreements

Whether you are an author, publisher, communications agency or producer, we assist you in negotiating and drafting agreements concerning the commercial use of your copyright (rights transfer agreement). The drafting of copyright transfer agreements must comply with numerous legal and jurisprudential principles (prohibiting the overall assignment of future works, determining royalties, addressing moral rights, etc.).


IT contracts

We have developed specific expertise in IT contracts (developing managed services, licensing, Saas, PaaS, etc.) which, although they naturally fall within the scope of general contract law, have a significant number of unique legal characteristics (access to sources, service provider obligations, prerogatives of the licensee, error corrections, guarantee, liability, software or software components under free licenses, etc.).
