Intellectual Property Lawyers

Our intellectual property lawyers offer expertise in the following areas:

• Copyright protection: If you have created original works such as music, literature, films, software, artwork, photography, or physical products, IP lawyers can advise you about what you need to do to get them registered for copyright protection. They can also provide expert representation in cases of infringement to safeguard your creative assets.
• Trademark registration and enforcement: Trademarks protect your brand identity, preventing other companies from using it without authorisation. They also enhance brand recognition and create trust among potential customers, reinforcing your business’s credibility and reputation. A lawyer can assist you in registering your business trademark while ensuring compliance with legal regulations. They can also represent you in cases of infringement to safeguard your intellectual property.
• Trade secret protection: It is important to keep information about government intelligence, formulas, and processes confidential from the media, competitors, and other unauthorised personnel. An IP lawyer in AU can assist in drafting non-disclosure agreements and represent clients in cases where trade secrets have been wrongfully disclosed.
• Dispute resolution: Conflicts can arise when a creator discovers that their intellectual property has been used without their permission or a monetary payment. Lawyers represent and protect their clients in mediations, negotiations, and court cases.

Can AI-Generated Creative Assets Be Copyrighted?

Artificial intelligence has been a groundbreaking phenomenon for over seven decades, but its growth has accelerated significantly in recent years. Today, machines can generate music, art, codes, literature, and more. This technological advancement has raised important questions about who specifically owns the intellectual property rights to AI-generated works.

As businesses, artists, and AI developers aim to protect and profit from their creations, the question of who legally owns AI-generated works remains highly ambiguous. Copyright law has traditionally been based on human authorship, leading to confusion over how to apply these laws to AI creations.
