In the dynamic and ever-evolving media and entertainment sector, intellectual property (IP) plays a crucial role in protecting and valuing creations. According to a recent study by the European Audiovisual Observatory, challenges related to digitization, media convergence, and the emergence of new distribution platforms make IP and copyright protection more important than ever.
The media and entertainment sector encompasses a wide variety of actors, such as the press, publishing, communication and advertising, culture, film or TV program production, music creation and production, as well as influencer marketing. These actors face similar IP challenges, such as copyright, data protection, and specific regulatory frameworks. Each faces unique complexities that can be challenging to navigate.
Media and entertainment companies face unique IP challenges, including protecting digital works, combating piracy, and managing copyright in an ever-changing environment. Counterfeiting and copyright infringement are major risks, exacerbated by the ease of digital content distribution. Additionally, legislation varies significantly between countries, complicating international IP management.
To navigate this environment effectively, it is crucial to establish robust strategies for copyright registration, Soleau envelopes, trademarks, and design protection, as well as proactive rights protection. Dreyfus assists in implementing these protection strategies by helping you:
