    A Comprehensive Overview of Copyright and Related Rights

    We protect your creations from their inception through their commercialization

    Copyright and related rights protect creative works and content that can become strategic assets for companies, authors, producers, artists, institutions, and technological or cultural projects.

    Since 1865, we have been working with industrial and intellectual property assets. This experience allows us to provide comprehensive advice on the protection, registration, filing, ownership, licensing, exploitation, and defense of literary, artistic, musical, audiovisual, and performing arts works, as well as software, databases, digital content, and other protected assets.

     

    We assist both rights holders and rights users by handling assignments, licenses, authorizations, relationships with collecting societies, and exploitation models.

    Our capabilities extend beyond initial protection: we have teams specializing in civil and criminal copyright defense, as well as professionals with specific expertise in creative and technological assets and projects in the media and entertainment sector.

    This is how we align each creation with the strategy it needs to protect itself, thrive, and defend itself over time.
