Lawyers for copyright law

Our copyright lawyers specialise in using legal means to protect and exploit creative achievements. Their expertise covers advice and litigation in all areas of copyright law, including conventional music, film and publishing law. A key area is advising on topics related to new media and online business.  

CMS Germany’s copyright lawyers support creative professionals as well as users and exploiters in negotiating contracts for licences and exploitation rights. They assert your interests in court and out of court in the event of copyright infringements. Their long experience of pursuing and countering claims for injunctive relief and compensation comes into play here, including cases involving violation of privacy.
