Intellectual Property Law
and Media Law
Intellectual assets are frequently used without clear ownership, protection, or contractual control. This leads to disputes and loss of value. Vidyam Legal examines creation, use, and transfer of intellectual property, ensuring that rights are clearly defined, protected, and capable of being commercially leveraged.
We lead intellectual property strategy with a strong focus on protection, control, and commercialisation of IP assets across trademarks, copyrights, patents, and industrial designs, including search reports, filings, prosecution, objections, oppositions, registrations, renewals, and enforcement. We also structure and secure IP in commercial transactions by advising on ownership, transfer, confidentiality, and proprietary rights, and draft, review, and negotiate licensing, assignment, joint venture, collaboration, white-labelling, franchise, sponsorship, agency agreements, LOIs, and NDAs to ensure effective protection and monetisation of intellectual assets.
Additionally, we handle legal advisory and execution across media, entertainment, and digital platforms including film, television, OTT, sports, gaming, advertising, and social media. Our team has handled complex, high-value mandates in this space, ensuring protection and enforcement of intellectual property, confidentiality, and proprietary rights, including swift resolution of trademark and copyright infringements.
We have negotiated, drafted, and reviewed a wide range of industry agreements, including co-production, film financing, talent, broadcasting, streaming, endorsement, branding, distribution, and licensing arrangements. We also advise on IP acquisition and licensing strategies, conduct due diligence, and address regulatory and legal issues relating to broadcasting, telecommunications, data, privacy, and technology, along with conducting and defending dispute proceedings.
