Copyright

The purpose of literary and artistic property law is to grant authors protection on their work, provided it is original, regardless of type of expression, merit or intended use. Such creations can therefore benefit from a monopoly, in principle for 70 years, irrespective of any registration formalities, as the work is protected in France since its creation.

CBD possesses recognized expertise in author right law, particularly in defending works of applied art, such as fashion, leather goods and jewellery, etc. We regularly represent fashion houses, stylists and artistic designs directors before the Courts, in all kinds of disputes involving their creations (copyright infringement and unfair competition).
