Copyright law
“Creativity is the driving force of our age.”
Copyright law regulates the use of creative works in the areas of literature, music, film, art and more. The actual interest of the author lies in protecting his/her work from unauthorised access by third parties and in making money from it.
Therefore, it is important for entrepreneurs, creative workers and artists to legally protect the potential monetary value and application of specific works and to clarify liability issues in advance.
