COPYRIGHT & RELATED RIGHTS
In the world of today, intellectual property has become more valuable than ever. Creators and businesses alike face new challenges in protecting their creative works. Copyright law has emerged as a critical tool in protecting these rights.
With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and other cutting-edge technologies, landscapes of copyright law are continuously evolving. The expertise of practised legal professionals becomes more vital.
At FORT, we are well-equipped to provide comprehensive legal services related to copyright and related rights in the Baltic States. We help our clients navigate the complexities of this ever-changing field.
Navigating the Complexities of Copyright Protection
Effective copyright protection requires a deep understanding of the underlying legal principles. In addition, you need to be able to adapt to new developments in technology and industry practices. FORT's knowledgeable attorneys have been praised for their creative approach to finding solutions. We can provide legal services with regard to domestic or international copyright. Our services include:
Registration and Enforcement of Copyrights
FORT assists clients in registering their copyrights and other related rights. This ensures that the subject matter gets the full extent of legal protection.
Negotiating and Drafting Licensing Agreements
Licensing agreements create channels for generating revenue without forcing you to lose control over the use of intellectual property and vice versa. We can assist in negotiating and drafting licensing agreements that protect your interests.
Advising on Fair Use and Other Copyright Exceptions
We assess client's activities and help avoid potential legal pitfalls. This ensures a balance between creativity and copyright protection. Fair use is crucial to media, marketing and entertainment companies.
Focusing on the Impact of AI on Copyright Law
AI technology is becoming more sophisticated by the day. The line between human-created and machine-generated content becomes increasingly blurred. This raises a host of new legal questions, especially regarding the applicability of copyright law to AI-generated works.
FORT's forward-thinking attorneys can offer valuable insights and advice in this sphere.
