Art and architecture
Art and architecture have a relationship with intellectual property that is both fundamental and often overlooked. While artistic and architectural creations are protected by copyright, the reality of their commercial exploitation (sales, exhibitions, reproductions, public commissions, international projects, etc.) gives rise to a multitude of complex legal situations that only a specialized law firm is able to anticipate and manage.
Visual artists, galleries, auction houses, collectors, architects, and architectural firms: all of them need expert guidance to protect their creations and safeguard their interests.
For visual artists
The law firm Bouchara & Avocats assists him in defending his moral rights and economic rights, particularly in cases involving unauthorized reproductions in the press, in audiovisual works, in advertisements, or on the internet.
Bouchara & Avocats also assists the artist in drafting sale, licensing, and commission agreements, ensuring that the artist retains control over their work and image over the long term.
For Art Galleries
As art galleries expand their online operations and embrace new models such as digital auctions, Bouchara & Avocats assists them in the legal structuring of these new practices.
Architecture: Protecting the Work and Moral Rights
Bouchara & Avocats thus assists architects in defending their rights regarding their projects: ensuring the integrity of the completed work in the face of modifications imposed by a client, protecting against the unauthorized reproduction of plans or visuals, and establishing guidelines regarding the conditions under which a building may be photographed or filmed for commercial purposes.
