AVANTCORE advises companies, self-employed individuals, and creatives comprehensively on all legal questions with proven expertise in Copyright LawMedia law, personality rights, and all legal issues surrounding Artificial Intelligence (AI). In addition to contract drafting, we represent our clients in infringement proceedings both in and out of court.
Copyright Law
Copyright law protects images, texts, music, films, computer programs, works of visual art, works of applied art, and scientific or technical representations from unauthorized use by third parties. The international distribution of copyrighted works made possible by the internet presents challenges for the entire media industry in dealing with copyrights and rights of use. Our advisory services focus on the design, negotiation and review of license agreements, which govern both exclusive and non-exclusive use options. We also defend your rights in infringement proceedings, both in and out of court.
Media Law
Media law has its origins in classic press law. The law has always defined the framework conditions for the publication of content and has not changed significantly in recent decades. However, digitalization has led to a significant increase in use and a greater variety of application areas. We focus on ensuring the correct representation of your company, the people who work there and the products you sell in conventional or digital publications and rating portals such as Google or Jameda (a German portal for booking doctor's appointments and searching for doctors).
Personal Privacy Rights
The right to one's own image gives every person the right to freely decide on the public use of their own likeness. This applies not only when images of celebrities are used in product advertising, but also when images of employees are used on a company's homepage. AVANTCORE offers comprehensive support in the design, negotiation and review of contracts in the area of the use of personal rights.
AI
Artificial Intelligence "AI," or in modern German, Artificial Intelligence, is on everyone's lips as a key technology of our time and is used by more and more people in their everyday work. The use of this new technology raises a variety of exciting legal issues. These include, for example, questions about the copyright protectability of inputs (prompts) and outputs of AI applications, data protection issues regarding the handling of vast amounts of data containing personal information, or legal questions concerning the implementation of the AI Regulation.
