Overview
In an environment where content and software have become core assets, copyright disputes are becoming increasingly sophisticated. Legal standards such as originality, substantial similarity, and fair use often turn on fact-intensive and evidence-driven analysis. Companies must clarify contractual and rights relationships throughout the entire process of developing, using, and distributing copyrighted works. In particular, issues involving licensing, derivative works, and platform terms of service are directly tied to business models.
