Your digital and online questions answered

Online and digital platforms

The market for digital content has grown exponentially. If you are licensing digital content to online platforms and distributors, your intellectual property rights need to be very carefully managed. If you’re a platform operator, you need to make sure you acquire every right needed for your commercial activities. Clearscope Legal are experts at advising you on intellectual property rights, and creating rock-solid contracts that cover all the key angles.

Digital content

You may have grown up reading paperbacks and magazines, but today audiobooks, eBooks and eMagazines have taken centre stage. Being able to commercialise these digital content formats requires a detailed understanding of the intellectual property rights that are being licensed or sold. Whether you are dealing with just one title or a whole digital collection, Clearscope Legal have the specialist knowledge and expertise to make sure you get all the right documentation in place.
