Arguments over copyright ownership
- With Jack
- Know where you stand in terms of copyright laws, but preferably have a contract in place that leaves no room for confusion
- If arguments ensue around copyright or IP ownership, refer to the copyright clause in your contract to show what was agreed to by both parties. In most cases this will resolve the argument
- If your client tries to recover compensation from you—like in this instance where they wanted to recover the cost of hiring other freelancers—contact your insurer immediately
- Your professional indemnity policy should be able to help you defend claims of copyright infringement, as well as provide you with legal experts to negotiate with your client in regard to their demands for compensation
- Being insured gives you the confidence to stand your ground with clients who try to take advantage. If the client decides to escalate matters you have the support you need legally and financially from your insurer
