Copyright

The emergence of new technologies has made copyright an area of law that is subject to continuous review and revision. Legislative initiatives are ongoing both nationally and in Europe and elsewhere internationally. Our Firm has been in the forefront of the fight to set up a suitable legal framework that will strike a balance between respecting the basic rights and principles of the information society and protecting intellectual creations in the digital age. Our team of intellectual property experts enables us to offer our clients the full benefit of all their experience and their deep knowledge of the field, so we are able to provide full-service advice in such disparate areas as, to name just a few, protecting traditional literary works, drawing up software development agreements, acting to block a website dealing in illegal downloads of protected works, taking legal action against plagiarism of television programme formats, negotiating agreements with collection societies, and defending the interests of a private group or sector against the authorities.

Personality Rights

In today’s society, in constant flux, celebrities in all walks of life need to protect their public image. Artists of all kinds, athletes, architects, and television and radio show hosts are just a few examples of highly effective advertising mouthpieces both for goods and services of all kinds and for businesses themselves.

ELZABURU has highly qualified IP professionals who can offer full-service advice on protecting, developing, and promoting personality rights as well as on the appropriate legal and business approaches for properly exploiting those rights.
