Creative work & use

Copyright law.

Use content. Clarify rights in a comprehensible way.

Photos, music, videos, texts and software are created and reused every day. We advise on usage rights and contracts and provide support in case of conflicts over published content. The specific material, the agreed use and the actual use are decisive.

Advice & representation

Copyright law
in practice.

A copyright dispute often begins with a warning or an unexpected invoice. For the audit, we look at who asserts which rights, how the content was used and what agreements exist. We also help authors and companies to clearly document usage rights in advance. The scope of advice depends on the individual content or the planned project.

01

UGC, Reposts & Advertising Licenses

A publicly visible contribution is not automatically approved for your own campaign. We clarify rights of use, paid redistribution, processing and third-party material within a production.

02

AI images, music & voices

We check specific productions for rights to source material, results and identifiable persons. Tool conditions do not replace this check.

03

AI content, voices & avatars

We review rights to use source material, contractual approvals and the planned publication of AI-generated content. In the case of synthetic voices and images, we include the personal rights of the persons concerned.

Check warnings and claims

We review the disputed use, claims made and an attached declaration of injunctive relief. For this, we need the complete letter and information about the origin of the material. We then discuss the possible responses and the agreed scope of representation.

05

Rights of use and license agreements

For commissioned productions, campaigns and ongoing content creation, the permitted uses should be comprehensibly described. We assist with agreements on media, duration, processing and transfer. Existing platform or license conditions are taken into account insofar as they relate to the project.

06

Protect your content

When others use your content, we review the facts and available evidence. This includes creation, assignment of rights and specific external use. Based on this, we provide advice on how to contact you further and on possible extrajudicial or judicial steps.
