According to the legislation in Russian Federation, copyright and neighboring rights do not need registration or any other formality to come into existence and protection commences as soon as the work is created. Except for the software and databases. A separate software law provides that the author of a software program may register it with the Patent Office, although he is not obliged to do so, and his rights shall be recognized even if the software is not registered.

Business Consulting specialists consult clients on all questions in copyright and neighboring rights, help to draw up application documentation necessary for registering software or databases, and submitting for application for registration.

Also Business Consulting lawyers help to conclude license contracts, and treaties on alienation of prerogative right for objects of copyright and neighboring rights. Business Consulting may consult on a project of a contract, or on an already signed contract. Also we can work out a contract and submit it to the partner’s agreement.

In case of a conflict situation Business Consulting can conduct a legal analysis of the dispute and provide documentary evidence. Our firm can develop a legal position on the dispute, draw up all the documentation and handle the case in courts of all instances on the territory of the Russian Federation.

We care not only about the court decision itself, but the real protection of the client’s interests. That is why Business Consulting is ready to assume obligations while executing the court’s decision.
