COPYRIGHT AND MEDIA LAW.

Copyright issues arise in particular - but not only - for media companies. In other sectors, too, copyright issues are increasingly important in general day-to-day business - whether for advertising purposes, in the design of websites or in the use of music. BROCK MÜLLER ZIEGENBEIN advises companies and authors from all sectors on dealing with their own or third-party copyrights - from developing a business idea and drafting the necessary agreements to conducting negotiations with copyright holders or rights distributors. If necessary, this also includes legal enforcement to protect your own rights or to defend against alleged third-party rights. Copyright and media law in the broader sense also includes the out-of-court and, if necessary, in-court representation of interests in the defence of business-damaging false statements of fact or inadmissible defamatory criticism, such as those increasingly found in Internet forums. We also handle mandates in connection with negative reporting in the media.
