Copyright Consultwith expert lawyers

When you create something original, especially in a business context, you’ll usually want to protect that intellectual property. Once an idea is expressed in a material form, it is automatically protected by copyright. In Australia, you do not need to register copyright. However, many businesses also use copyright notices or an IP Licence to help manage their IP, so it’s worth speaking to a lawyer about the best approach for your business.

Yes, there are a number of ways to protect your business’ intellectual property. Copyright is one option, and you may also choose to register a trade mark for added protection. For example, if you’ve designed a logo and want to stop others from using it, you may need to register that logo as a trade mark with IP Australia.

From $500 + GST, our package includes a phone consultation with a Sprintlaw lawyer, who will advise you on the relevant legal issues. Every business has different needs, so the copyright issues that apply will not be the same for everyone. Our lawyers can work closely with you to help ensure you're covered.

We handle everything by phone, email and video call, so you never need to visit an office. Once you request a quote, one of our legally trained consultants will get back to you within one business day with a fixed-fee proposal. If you accept, we will pair you with a specialist lawyer who will guide you through the process. All documents are delivered digitally, and you can communicate with your lawyer in the way that suits you best. It is the same quality legal advice you would get from a traditional firm, just without the commute, hourly billing surprises or the formality.
