The publishing and traditional print industries have a longstanding presence in Manchester. The Manchester Evening News (owned by the Guardian Media Group) is one of the UK’s biggest regional newspapers in terms of readership. Manchester Evening News Media publishes more than 20 paid for and free weekly newspapers across the Greater Manchester Area.
Notwithstanding the downsizing and restructuring that has been necessary as the sector continues to adjust to the recession and new business models which charge for on-line content, it is embracing innovative ways to distribute digital material.
This conversion to digital business is one that we also see in the advertising, marketing and PR industries, particularly given the demand to be able to exploit and market their services across different forms of media.
We provide practical advice on all matters relating to the ownership, exploitation, preservation and enforcement of intellectual property on digital platforms as well as more traditional print and broadcast content rights.
We also have significant expertise in advising clients as to the common pitfalls in advertising practice, including in the areas of comparative advertising, the use of Google Ad-Words and third party materials, image rights, ethical advertising and industry regulation.
