If you hold copyright or trademark rights, use a designation of origin or have specific know-how, it is important to be clear about the rights that belong to you and the framework within which you can use, transfer or share them with others. An analysis is also sometimes needed to clearly establish whether protected works of others are available and can be used.
An expert analysis can be crucial for both authors and users of rights – for example, when it is necessary to determine who holds which rights in a work created jointly, or when a user wants to be sure they are using a work lawfully and in line with the rights of others.
An expert opinion is often needed when a company wants to protect its internal know-how, define its boundaries in collaboration with partners or transfer knowledge without endangering trade secrets. The need for analysis also arises with products of protected geographical origin, where compliance with the prescribed specifications and standards must be verified.
