Copyright

RM Legal advises businesses, creators, and organisations on the protection and commercial use of copyright in creative works, including content, media, software, and artistic works including content created through agencies, consultants, and third-party service providers.

What We Do

Our work includes:

  • Copyright registration and advisory
  • Structuring ownership and authorship of works
  • Drafting and review of licensing and assignment agreements
  • Advisory on use of third-party content and infringement risks
  • Enforcement actions against unauthorised use

Our Approach

Copyright protection is closely linked to ownership and commercial use. We work with clients on:

  • Identifying ownership and rights in created content
  • Structuring agreements to avoid disputes over authorship
  • Aligning copyright protection with business and revenue models

Our focus is on ensuring that creative works are not only protected, but also capable of being commercially exploited.

When to Consider Copyright Protection

  • Creation of original content, designs, or creative material
  • Development of software, digital content, or media assets
  • Engagement with agencies, designers, or content creators
  • Risk of unauthorised copying or misuse

Process Overview

While each matter is unique, copyright protection typically involves:

  • Identification of the nature of the work and ownership
  • Filing of copyright registration (where required)
  • Structuring of licensing or assignment arrangements
  • Enforcement against infringement
