What is Copyright?
Copyright protects creative works such as literal, musical, dramatic, artistic works and sound recordings.
Books, websites, video games, NFTs and computer applications are some of the creations that copyright covers. Protection is given to the owner of the works to prevent others from using the works for a period of years.
What is a Copyright Solicitor?
A Copyright Solicitor is a lawyer who advises owners of creative works about their legal copyrights. Owners of creative works often do not know how to register their rights to the work that they create. They also often have little understanding of the law on how to stop others from violating their monopoly rights to use their works or how to exploit those rights to profit from their assets. A Copyright Solicitor will help people secure their innovative ideas or technologies, expressed in tangible form.

What are the key skills of a Copyright Solicitor?
To be a good Copyright Solicitor you need excellent skills in the following:
Research
Copyright laws and regulations are constantly developing. Research skills are needed to stay up to date with new legislation in various jurisdictions.
Communication
Strong communication skills are needed to communicate with clients, other lawyers, government authorities and the courts.
Attention to detail
Copyright demands a high level of detail. As a copyright solicitor, you might examine agreements, licences and other official documents for minor flaws that may affect a case's outcome. You may also examine documents that contain data inaccuracies. Both circumstances require excellent attention to detail in investigating and remedying the sources of errors.
Problem-solving
The capacity to mitigate issues is an important skill for a copyright solicitor. A copyright solicitor often resolves disputes between businesses, individuals and other entities.
Technical knowledge
Copyright lawyers require technical expertise and awareness of property rights and related subjects. For example, a copyright lawyer who deals with digital technologies will need knowledge of how certain technologies such as blockchain work to draft license and assignment agreements and legal briefs.
