Copyright and Intellectual Property

We assist businesses, authors, artists, producers, publishers, and technology companies in protecting, managing, and leveraging intellectual property rights and intangible assets — works, content, software, databases, trademarks, formats, and know-how.

Copyright is now at the heart of the digital transformation: platforms, new models for exploiting content, and artificial intelligence are redefining ownership, licensing, and the ways in which works are distributed. We address these issues with particular experience in the music, entertainment, media, and technology sectors.

Our advisory work is complemented by litigation: from copyright infringement to counterfeiting, from ownership of works to breaches of licensing and commercial exploitation agreements. The goal is not merely to protect a right, but to understand its value and build the tools needed to exploit and defend it.

What we do

  • Copyright and content — ownership, assignments, licences, commercial exploitation, and litigation.
  • Music, entertainment and media — contracts with artists, authors, producers, and publishers, content licensing and exploitation, relationships with platforms and industry operators.
  • Software, databases and technology — protection, development agreements, licensing, open source, and ownership of deliverables.
  • IP & AI — use of works and data for training, text and data mining, opt-out, protection of inputs and outputs, and liability arising from the use of generative systems.
  • Trademarks and distinctive signs — protection strategy, registration, oppositions, coexistence agreements, and litigation.
  • Know-how and trade secrets — NDAs, confidentiality agreements, protection of business information, and remedies against unlawful misappropriation.
  • IP enforcement and litigation — counterfeiting, plagiarism, unfair competition, breach of licences, and removal of unlawful content, online and offline.
  • Copyright — Law 633/1941. Governs the protection of intellectual works and related rights, including software and databases.
  • Industrial property — Legislative Decree 30/2005. Trademarks, patents, designs and models, know-how, and trade secrets.
  • Copyright Directive — (EU) 2019/790. Transposed into Italian law by Legislative Decree 177/2021, it has reshaped key aspects of the digital exploitation of works and governs exceptions for text and data mining, which are now central to the debate between copyright and artificial intelligence.
  • Software and databases — Directives 2009/24/EC and 96/9/EC. Establish specific protection regimes for software and databases.
  • EU trademark — Regulation (EU) 2017/1001. Governs the unitary protection of trademarks at European level.

How we work

We start from the asset’s economic value and how the client intends to use it. Before even considering how to protect a right, we determine who owns it, how it can be exploited, which rights need to be acquired, and which can be granted to third parties.

When a dispute arises, we combine specialist intellectual property expertise with litigation experience: because a sound IP strategy must work in contracts, in the market, and, when necessary, before a court.
