The purpose of this website is to give general information only. As a second phase of the project we hope to develop specific guidance for authors, artists, musicians and other people working in the cultural industries.

If you have a specific problem we advise you to contact organisations in your sector, the government agency responsible for administering IP rights (CIPRO) or a lawyer specialising in a relevant area of intellectual property.
