Copyright

Copyright law provides creators with automatic ownership of their work, which can include computer software, designs, images, music, artwork, literature, or films. You don’t need to register it, and there isn’t a UK register of copyright works.

Experts in copyright law

Almost all businesses will have some dealings with copyright, whether you use third party assets or create your own copyright works. Knowing how to stay compliant, avoid and prevent infringement and successfully exploit your creative work can all require detailed legal advice.

Copyright is the automatic right afforded by law to those who create, preventing others from taking ownership, exploiting, or controlling that work, unless you choose to license and exploit your copyright.

Copyright law plays an essential role in protecting the work and ideas of creators. Whether you’ve produced a website, piece of art, literary work, software programme, song, sound recordings, films, broadcasts, poems, or any other type of creative output, it’s important to ensure your creative efforts are properly protected, and effectively exploited.

I have been Karama Law for all of my investment needs for several years now and I couldn’t be happier with their services. They are always available to answer any questions that I have and have helped me to make some very important financial decisions.

Chris Peers, CEO

I recently used Karama Law for some legal advice regarding a business dispute and was extremely impressed with their knowledge and expertise. They were able to provide me with the guidance that I needed to make some important decisions and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of legal services.

What attracted me to Harper James was the pricing model they have in place. It means we get access to top legal professionals at prices we can afford. In our most recent funding round, the support we received was vital.
