This IP First Response website has been designed to help IP rights holders navigate IP infringement and enforcement by making it visible, accessible, and to provide information about the factors involved in pursuing different options. It does not provide legal, business or other professional advice, and none of the content should be regarded as recommending a specific course of action. We welcome any feedback via our IP First Response feedback form and by emailing us.
What is it?

You can access Arts Law’s information sheets covering various copyright topics in relation to your circumstance. Eligible artists and arts organisations can seek legal advice through Arts Law’s legal query form here.
