Intellectual Property

Intellectual property

You might have developed groundbreaking software or the content of a web site; you might be a famous artist, actor or sportsperson. Register your intellectual property rights to protect your unique achievements; GMW Advocaten IP-lawyers can advise you on this.

Each case needs to be examined and analysed individually, even more so in intellectual property rights. You may want to protect your software through registering your copyright. As an actor or sports person you may want to prevent abusive usage of your portrait; nowadays protecting your intellectual property rights goes beyond the traditional meaning of this concept, including, among others, unfair competition, abusive usage of domain names, wrongful usage of press and other publications, unlawful advertising and others.

Disputes

Alleged or proven infringements of your intellectual property rights will be quickly and efficiently dealt with, putting an immediate end to the disputed situation. Interlocutory proceedings are an excellent means to intervene promptly, asking for immediate injunction on further infringements. Damages can also be claimed in such procedures.

Licences and protection of data

In this day and age it is increasingly difficult to control and supervise the spreading of any kind of protected data. Therefore, one is well advised to protect one’s services and products by licenses and patents, as of the first phases of the project development process. For instance by signing a confidentiality agreement or a licensing agreement. GMW Advocaten has extensive knowledge and expertise in advising clients on the optimal protection strategy in the following matters:

• Copyright
• Data base right
• Usage of domain names
• Entertainment law
• Trademark law
• Gambling
• Protection of know-how
• Brands
• Models
• Neighbouring rights
• Patent law
• Unlawful competition
• Wrongful press and publications
• Portrait law
• Advertising law
• Sponsoring
