Licensing, transfers, transactions & agreements

In many circumstances, copyright in a work can be sold and transferred between parties. Such works are also very often licensed, allowing certain third parties to use or exploit the work in certain agreed ways, often only in certain areas and for a fixed period of time, and subject to oversight by the owner of the copyright in the works. It is also possible to use copyright as security in financial transactions in various circumstances. The requirements for validly transferring, licensing, or conducting other transactions relating to copyright vary from country to country. Our attorneys can help guide you through the complexities of these processes to make them as smooth as possible.
