Since its establishment, SGA has nurtured and developed new partnerships with leading representatives from the domain that have direct relevance to the business of gaming companies and studios, in order to provide its members with the best conditions for improving their business and raising their capacities in every sense.
We have so far cooperated with various services, consulting houses, representatives of civil society or foundations and development agencies, but one of the key segments is certainly support in the domain of legal issues, protection of intellectual property, data, compliance with international market regulations and much more.
In this regard, SGA cooperates with even two eminent regional law offices with great experience, which are available to our members for certain types of support and with which we selflessly share our experiences, with which they reciprocate. The offices in question are Karanović & Partners and Moravčević Vojnović and Partners in cooperation with Schoenherr.
Through a working breakfast format, which will be held on October 24th and November 14th, they will share with our members insights into some of the key and realistic topics relevant to business in the field of video game development.
The first of the two events is hosted by the office of Karanović & Partners. On this occasion, we will jointly process a corpus of topics related to the Protection and use of IP: general and practical recommendations, and representatives of studios and companies will have the opportunity to ask their questions and receive free legal consultations.
Some of the topics we will discuss are:
- Recommendations for a good wording of the IP clause in the Employment Agreement;
- How in practice does the author (employee or other collaborator) retain the right to moral rights, after transferring property rights to the author’s work to the company;
- What is important to know and regulate by contract when creating content (content creation) with third parties;
- Trademark protection and use – examples from practice;
- AI & IP.
