Copyright Litigation & Dispute Resolution

At IIP, our team excels in helping clients safeguard their copyright works through a practical understanding of copyright law. We are dedicated to protecting your copyright by providing comprehensive legal counsel and tailored strategies.

Automatic Protection

Copyright protection is automatically granted in Australia to original creations, covering a wide range of works such as technical drawings, literary works, music, software, promotional materials and advertisements. Copyright protects the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Understanding and leveraging this protection is crucial for all businesses, particularly anyone involved in content production.

Strategic Copyright Enforcement

In today’s digital age, managing and asserting copyright has never been more important. This is because the rise of the internet and electronic documentation has made it easier to circulate and reproduce content illegally, posing significant challenges. At IIP, we understand these complexities and work diligently to ensure that your copyright works are effectively protected against unauthorised use and disclosure.

Our expertise extends to developing programs to monitor the marketplace for potential infringements and sending letters of demand. We can assist to lodge a notice of objection with customs and taking actions to prevent counterfeit copyright works entering Australia. We may also work with internet service providers (ISPs) and other agencies to remove infringing content from online platforms. If necessary, we will commence copyright infringement litigation in the Federal Court of Australia or relevant State Supreme Court.
