Neighboring rights are the rights granted to performers and producers.
Protection by copyright and related rights means that it is not possible to use a work without first obtaining authorization from its author or the holder of the related rights.

Trademark
Law
A trademark is a sign used to distinguish the products or services of a natural or legal person from those of its competitors.
Trademark law gives the applicant a monopoly on the use of the registered trademark, enforceable against all parties.
Choosing a brand is often a strategic issue for a company, enabling it to create an identity for itself in the eyes of consumers. It represents the company’s image.
The firm can support companies in setting up trademark protection, as well as assisting them in the event of trademark infringement, notably through infringement actions.
