Copyright exists automatically when a copyright work is created and fixed in a permanent form.

When you use others to create copyright work you need to be aware that copyright in what you have commissioned may not necessarily be owned by you.  Certain arrangements provide you with a license to use rather than outright ownership. 

 

We advise on copyright in relation to your logos and can prepare any necessary copyright assignment documents for example when you employ design or advertising agencies to develop a new brand identity.
