Intellectual property law is the collective name for rights to intellectual creations such as texts, photographs, software, inventions, brand names, etc. They consist of a set of exclusive rights to "the products of the mind".
Intellectual property law is a right of prohibition, which entitles the holder to make the use of their right by other parties subject to the holder's permission. It is a derogation provided for by law, or the principle of free competition, which is justified by the need to provide entrepreneurs with the necessary incentives to invest in research and creation without a third party being allowed to simply copy it.
From our office, we offer the necessary assistance both to protect or file your creations on the one hand, and to initiate the necessary (cessation) proceedings against unfair market practices in the broad sense.
Computers and the internet have become an integral part of our daily lives. The rapid evolution and digitisation of the world in this area has meant that users have been confronted with a legislative framework that was not envisaged for such technological progress and innovations. The purview of ICT law consequently covers various elements. Examples include the protection of privacy, but also e-commerce, e-invoices, and electronic signatures.
The path is therefore strewn with pitfalls, and companies need to be guided, so that decisions can be made with sufficient and relevant expertise.
