Experts in copyright disputes for businesses and creative professionals
Copyright disputes are complex and often legally challenging situations, where the opposing parties may include rights holders and users of works. Resoni has over 20 years of experience in copyright law and litigation. We are one of Finland’s most experienced firms in resolving copyright disputes.
Copyright disputes are often resolved through negotiations between the parties. The Market Court handles copyright disputes, but in many cases, copyright agreements specify arbitration as the dispute resolution method. We assist parties in both settlement negotiations and court proceedings.
Who are our services aimed for?
We offer services to businesses, individual rights holders, and users of works who are respondents in disputes. We specialize particularly in copyright issues for IT companies, such as managing rights to software code created by employees and legal matters related to open-source software.
We also assist photographers, as well as professionals in the music and film industries, in resolving copyright disputes. Additionally, we have extensive experience in assisting individuals accused of copyright infringement.
Our broad expertise covers court proceedings at all levels, as well as mediation and negotiations with copyright organizations.

Pricing
Handling a copyright dispute is often labor-intensive, and estimating the workload in advance can be challenging. In many cases, disputes are resolved before litigation through written communications between the parties. However, this is not always the case, and in court proceedings, additional filings, evidence collection, expert guidance, and the actual hearing can require weeks of work.
For these reasons, our services are based on an hourly rate. From the outset, we provide our clients with a comprehensive cost estimate for each stage of the process.
