Personality rights litigations are among the most legally and personally demanding types of disputes. They typically involve unlawful interference with honour, dignity, privacy, name, likeness or reputation. A significant part of these cases concerns moral rights arising from copyright, in particular violations of the right of authorship, unauthorised modifications of a work or distortions affecting the author’s personal integrity.
We represent clients throughout the entire enforcement process. We assess the legal situation, define the appropriate procedural strategy and choose the most effective means of protection. Our services include cease and desist letters, applications for preliminary injunctions and full court litigation aimed at stopping the unlawful interference, removing its consequences and securing appropriate satisfaction and compensation for the harm suffered.
In copyright related personality rights cases, we address unauthorised use of works, failure to credit authorship, interference with the integrity of a work and infringements carried out through digital platforms, media or advertising campaigns. We protect clients both as injured authors and as defendants facing claims of personality rights violations.
Our objective is to secure effective protection of the client’s personality, restore their professional and social reputation and minimise the long term impact of the unlawful interference.
