In the era of open data and artificial intelligence, copyright issues have taken on a completely new significance. In fact the regulatory framework is changing in line with technological advances, including the law for a new Digital Republic, the creative freedom law, ongoing European copyright reform, etc. In this context and given the major challenges involved, it is more important than ever to ensure that you own your creations or works created by your employees and service providers and to benefit from expert support to protect your rights, defend, promote and optimise your assets and secure your contracts in this area. Whether you are a creator or purchaser, our specialists will advise and assist you with all of these issues.

With solid experience and up-to-the-minute expertise, our dedicated team is able to offer you a complete service, from establishing the most suitable protection or optimisation strategy to assistance with pre-litigation and litigation matters in the event of infringement or a dispute over your rights. We also support you with the negotiation and drafting of your licensing, sale and coexistence agreements. Given the extent and complexity of cases often going beyond national boundaries and the strict framework of copyright, our experts work in close collaboration with their colleagues specialising in other areas (customs, competition, etc.) and draw on our international network to guarantee you the most effective support in all circumstances.
