Intellectual Property / Media

Our Media, IP and Entertainment area advises companies in diverse sectors, such as film and television, digital platforms, content creation, video games, music, press, publishing, authors and literary agents.

We have extensive experience in Sale & Purchase operations for publishing, production, and content creation companies in Spain and Latin America. For all of them, intellectual property rights are their most valuable assets. Thus, we conduct an exhaustive analysis of trademarks, patents, copyrights, know-how, licenses, domains, privacy, and data protection as part of the Due Diligence process to detect and mitigate risks that may affect those assets.

We have ample experience in protecting all types of creations, which include musical and literary works, video games, publications, photographs, websites, software, in both traditional media and digital platforms.

We provide transversal advice to leading international companies within the entertainment and digital content distribution and marketing sectors on the implementation and commercialization of new digital models at a local level.

Our advice covers areas such as regulatory, contracts, advertising, trademarks, intellectual property, consumer compliance, and protection of minors, privacy and personal data, among others.

We also conduct a pre-publication analysis of content to avoid potential infringements of rights to honor, personal or family privacy, and/or one’s own image.
