Our spe­cia­li­sed law firm for copy­right and media law, based in Colo­gne and with a branch office in Ber­lin, has been inten­si­ve­ly invol­ved in the spe­cial field of copy­right law for over 20 years.

Copy­right law deals pri­ma­ri­ly with the pro­tec­tion of the work of art. Indi­vi­du­al types of works can be the musi­cal work, the cine­ma­to­gra­phic work, the lin­gu­i­stic or writ­ten work, com­pu­ter pro­grams, works of visu­al art, etc.

We advi­se pri­ma­ri­ly in the area of explo­ita­ti­on and use of copy­righ­ted works, in par­ti­cu­lar in the area of draf­ting and revie­w­ing licen­se agree­ments, as well as in cases of inf­rin­ge­ment, which often result in claims for injunc­ti­ve reli­ef and dama­ges. In the case of claims for injunc­ti­ve reli­ef, we often advi­se and/or act for our cli­ents in the area of war­ning let­ters pre­ce­ding legal pro­cee­dings as well as in the area of inte­rim legal pro­tec­tion.

Copy­right law is one of the focal points of our legal prac­ti­ce.

If you have any ques­ti­ons, are expo­sed to pos­si­ble claims for injunc­ti­ve relief/damages by third par­ties, or would like us to review or draft con­tracts rele­vant to copy­right law, we look for­ward to your call to our Colo­gne office at 0221–4201074. We are hap­py to arran­ge mee­tings throug­hout Ger­ma­ny or we can arran­ge a first mee­ting via Sky­pe.
