Multimedia
Whether a business includes broadcasting, publishing, film production or a combination of all three, a multimedia company can be faced with a variety of different exposures relating to each of its specialist services.
Traditional and on-line publishing, broadcasting via different means, or creating content in the form of programming can present increasing challenges to ensure that licenses have been acquired to use copyrighted or trademarked content, but more importantly those licenses are not breached.
