The Handbook of the CEO and Managing Partner (CEO) of Lawsuit Law Firm, Annie Davtian, on “Intellectual Property Rights in the Creative Industry” has been published.

This resource is specifically designed for professionals in the creative industry, who often lack clarity on the necessary steps to protect their intellectual property rights. The Handbook provides detailed answers to key questions, including:

• Is it permissible to use someone else’s copyrighted work in your own creative projects?
• Does copyright registration provide protection for the author?
• What is the duration of copyright protection?
• What actions should be taken if copyright is not registered but rights are infringed upon?
• What types of works can be registered under copyright?
• How can one incorporate the works of other authors into their own creations?
• What are the key differences between copyright and trademark?
• How does copyright function within a collaborative group?
• Is it possible to register copyright retroactively?

This list of questions is not exhaustive, as the Handbook addresses a broad range of issues relevant to intellectual property in the creative sector.

The publication of this Handbook has been supported by AGBU, Artnexus, Creative Armenia, Katapult, and the European Union.
