Copyright and database rights

Copyright arises automatically in original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works as well as in sound recordings and films. Copyright is also the intellectual property right which arises in relation to software and its primary means of legal protection.

Database rights arise in relation to the compilation of a database which has involved a substantial investment in either obtaining, verifying or presenting its contents. Glanvilles offer experience and expertise in relation to professional advice on both copyright and database rights.
