Commercialising and controlling the use of copyright works, through licensing or dispute resolution, is integral to businesses across sectors. We work with clients on the biggest and most complex disputes involving copyright infringement and misappropriation of know-how, helping them to protect, license and commercialise these critical assets.
Copyright protection is at the core of business in sectors such as media, broadcasting and software engineering. In other industries, such as banking, financial services, software and algorithmic trading, the intersection of copyright, confidential information and trade secrets is also an important and fast-developing area.
Legal and technological issues increasingly overlap, and our team has deep experience in both the legal and technical sides of these matters, allowing us to provide innovative and commercial solutions to complex problems in this rapidly changing area. We can help you navigate complex legal and technological challenges, offering strategic guidance on protecting, licensing and enforcing intellectual property rights globally.
We have deep experience handling high-stakes copyright and trade secret disputes, large-scale software audit disputes, and domain name matters. We represent a diverse client base, including global corporations, high-profile actors and recording artists, creative professionals, and technology-driven enterprises, helping them develop and manage IP portfolios, negotiate licensing agreements and assert or defend claims before courts and regulatory bodies worldwide.
As AI technology advances, it presents complex IP challenges and opportunities. We advise on issues of infringement and risk mitigation associated with the adoption and, potentially, refinement of AI for use within the business. Our team can also advise on the ability to protect AI-created works, which is a complicated question in copyright law where subsistence of copyright requires human intellectual effort.
