Our Expertise - Copyrights
Copyright applies to all original, literacy, dramatic, musical or artistic works. These include books, other writings, music, scriptures, paintings, photographs, films, plays, television and radio programmes, computer programmes and communication signals. You acquire copyright protection automatically when you create an original work or other subject matter.
Copyright is also an integral part of protecting many new technologies. By obtaining copyright, you maintain the exclusive right to all aspects of your materials including reproduction, distribution, performance, display and licensing rights.

We assist owners in protecting and maximizing their investments in a number of ways, eg. drafting, negotiating, reviewing and advising on agreements, covering exclusive and non-exclusive interests in copyrights. We can help you protect your creations.
