Licensing
Our Copyright and Media practice regularly advises clients on media related licensing, licensing schemes, acquisitions, disposals, general exploitation, franchising, merchandising and fund raising. We have a wealth of experience in these areas. Our clients include individual rights owners (such as authors), copyright collecting societies and venture capitalists investing in media sectors. We have a longstanding and varied client base. It follows that we have a deep understanding of the copyright and media sectors in which our clients operate.
We conduct all transactions keeping our clients' end goals in sight, negotiating and drafting with those goals in mind. Our industry understanding means that we deliver pragmatic and commercial advice on a full range of transactions. We work hard to:
- extract maximum value from copyright works;
- assert, create, exploit and protect copyright works; and
- explore new media to both protect and exploit copyright works.
