Copyright Licenses

Copyright plays an important role in generating revenue for the authors and creators. A copyright license is an agreement between an author of the copyright material and a third party who seeks to exploit the copyright. Usually licenses see intervention of a third party who becomes the copyright owner temporarily in lieu of royalty payments. We offer services on contractual and copyright agreements involving transfer or license of copyright works.  Some of our clients have included writers, artists, designers, dramatists, musicians, architects and producers of sound recordings, cinematograph films.
