It requires innovative thinking to help companies with valuable copyright to cope with challenges brought by the fast development of new technologies.
Challenges posed by the internet, file sharing and digital copying have transformed the copyright field in recent years, and the area continues to evolve rapidly. In this new environment, it has become harder to effectively protect and police copyright infringement.
Deacons’ experienced team of copyright lawyers have kept pace with both the legal developments and the new technologies prompting them. We are at the forefront of providing our clients with innovative, tailor-made solutions in this complex and fast-moving area, including acting for clients in lobbying the government on issues such as the introduction of additional defences and consulting with the government on many topics including liability of online service providers and protection of digital copyright.
Deacons’ copyright practice has been consistently ranked in tier one by independent directory Managing Intellectual Property since 2008. Our lawyers can help you identify and protect your valuable copyright in Hong Kong and Mainland China and advise on all aspects of copyright subsistence and protection. We provide strategic advice on maximising your return on IP assets and can represent you in litigation and enforcement actions concerning copyright infringements. We also provide tailor-made copyright audits for companies to ensure that their copyrights are properly identified and protected, as well as how to implement policies and procedures to avoid infringing third party copyright, which may lead to criminal prosecution.
