In Colombia the Software is protected as a literary work. While protection exists from the very time of its creation, it is necessary to establish the transfer of economic rights to the owner company and the territorial scope thereof.

For entrepreneurs with establishments open to the public which use music or audiovisuals, through radios, sound equipment, TV sets, projectors, players, etc., a payment liability is generated in favor of the authors, which is charged by the societies of collective management, such as SAYCO, ACIMPRO, OSA, EGEDA inter-alia.

What do we do?

• Review of assignment agreements of property rights
• Review of use license agreements
• Registry of works before the National Directorate of Copyright
• Deposit of agreements
• Review of the rate that is being charged by the collecting society so as to determine the payment
• Defense against claims filed by artists directly for the payment of such rights.
