Copyright Levies 
What role copyrights play for your products
Although hardly realized in public, manufacturers, importers and online vendors of IT/CE devices and storage media are subject to paying copyright levies on the basis of the European directive 2001/29/EG. In contrast to other product-related compliance legislations, CL rules show vivid dynamics and numerous changes in the many countries where they have been implemented. Reasons are ongoing tariff-negotiations, pending law suits and technological changes with impacts on functions and tariffs. Our services yield an overview of the diverse legal situations within the European Union and beyond. We analyze your situation individually and offer a far-reaching takeover of your compliance efforts.
