Our legislation regulates not only the public recognition that is conferred to authors for their creations but also, their rights regarding the revenues that could derive from the use or publication of such creations. It is not only the big recording companies, the film industry or the creator of a new computer program that see all their rights protected and regulated but also the young writer that has published his first literary work.

To know the facts that generate the rights of an author -the creation of an artistic, literary or scientific work-, the contents of those rights, the publisher's rights, the way in which the work would be published or distributed, translation rights, how to deal with group works, collections and data banks, duration and limitations of the rights derived from an intellectual property, the transferring of those rights, etc, are only an example of all the issues that could arise in this area.

Only by having precise knowledge of this matter can we advise properly and defend the rights and interests of our clients and propose the most adequate solution in each case.
