Copyright Enforcement & Infringement

If you’ve created original work—whether it’s music, films, artwork, software, literature, or other creative assets—you deserve to benefit from your efforts.

Customised Legal Solutions

Our team assists individuals and businesses in identifying and enforcing their copyright to ensure your rights are protected under Australian law.

What is copyright infringement?

Infringement occurs when copyright material, or a ‘substantial part’ of it, is used without permission in a way exclusively reserved to the copyright owner. For example, a copyright owner has sole rights under the Copyright Act to reproduce copyright material, perform or screen it in public, and to communicate it to the public.

How can Sanicki Lawyers help?

When infringement occurs, action must be taken within 6 years of the infringement date. Sanicki Lawyers can act quickly to assist you if your copyright’s been infringed. We handle cease-and-desist letters, take-down notices, negotiation for fair compensation, and, when necessary, litigation to stop unauthorised use and recover damages. Whether your work has been used without permission online, in advertising, or by competitors, we’ll develop a strategic approach to help you enforce your rights as a copyright owner.

We also assist clients in proactively managing copyright through licensing agreements and advising on compliance with Australian and international copyright laws.

At Sanicki Lawyers, we understand the value of your intellectual property and are committed to enforcing and defending it. Contact us today to discuss how we can help you navigate copyright infringement issues and enforce your rights.

I engaged Terence and Grace after I was defrauded a significant sum of money. Being a victim of cyber fraud is extremely stressful and confronting. Thanks to them I felt an instant sense of relief when they took on my case and achieved a successful outcome within a short period of time. Terence and Grace were extremely knowledgeable in their case law and knew the strategic steps to take, to help me recover both my lost funds and interest. I can’t thank them enough for their professionalism and empathy they displayed to me, to achieve this extraordinary result. I am eternally grateful.
