Intellectual Property / Copyright
Intellectual Property protects original literary, artistic or scientific creations expressed in any medium (books, musical compositions, audiovisual works, works of art, computer programs, databases, etc.). Spanish law defends the moral rights granted to authors and artists. These rights are inalienable and pertain to the author or interpreter throughout their lifetime, as well as to their heirs or assigns when they die.
Intellectual Property also protects proprietary rights relating to the exploitation of the protected work or performance and to countervailing duties.
All this requires proper assistance from our legal team that specializes in these matters and is more than capable of responding to need to exploit and protect one of the most important assets the author possesses, avoiding any risk situations that could slow down the normal course of activity.
