Urheberrecht ist Anwaltssache.“
Representation Regarding Cease and Desist Letters
Copyright infringements are usually costly and consequently a risky matter that should under no circumstances be resolved through self-help.
Should you receive a cease and desist letter, i.e., a demand to remedy and refrain from the legal infringement, you should definitely seek our professional advice. This also applies if you are certain that you have indeed committed the infringement. Rights holders often exploit the situation and demand significantly more than they are entitled to.
The same applies if your rights are infringed. In this case too, professional handling ensures that you do not make any mistakes yourself that could diminish your claims or even give rise to claims by the opposing party.

Copyright law regulates the author’s right to their copyrighted works and the derived exploitation rights and usage rights.
In the area of logos or slogans, there are overlaps with trademark law, and in the case of software license agreements, with IT law.
The Right to One’s Own Image
The right to one’s own image is also regulated by copyright law. According to the right to one’s own image, the creation and publication of photos and videos is only legal if the legitimate interests of the persons depicted therein are not violated or if the consent of the depicted person is obtained.
