Intellectual property rights (IPR)

Rights in software – from a user’s perspective

We have extensive experience in providing users with good and clear agreements on rights in software, whether in relation to standard software or custom software.

Does your business or authority use standard software or customised software requiring that you enter into agreements?

Or are the agreements already entered into difficult to understand, inadequate or otherwise unsuitable?

Does your use of software require auditing or has that already been done?

Have you been met with injunctions preventing the use of software or are you at risk of such?

Use of protected cultural products

We provide assistance with everything from negotiation, drafting and interpretation of agreements on the use of cultural products such as music, books, photos and films to litigation before the courts of law and arbitration tribunals in cases involving alleged infringement of rights.

Our experienced specialists are ready to help you with intellectual property rights and rights of use

We have longstanding and extensive experience in assisting users with negotiating, drafting and interpreting agreements on rights in software, whether in the form of agreements on acquisition of intellectual property rights in custom software or agreements on the granting of rights of use, i.e. licence agreements, in respect of standard software. We also assist in connection with auditing and disputes.

Legal assistance related to software rights

We offer legal assistance in all areas related to software rights.

Our services include:

  • Ensuring unambiguous and transparent terms of use for standard software, otherwise typically governed by complex agreements
  • Securing the proper rights in customised software that allow the user freedom to use the software in future and prevent the user from becoming dependent on the software provider
  • Providing an overview of licence agreements and, if relevant, assistance with managing and complying with such licence agreements
  • Providing advice before, during and after auditing
  • Litigating cases involving software agreements and alleged infringement of rights before the courts of law and arbitration tribunals

In the event of a dispute, we can also provide litigation assistance, whether before the courts of law or an arbitration tribunal.
