Media and Entertainment

Entertainment/Content Transaction

In recent years, entertainment content, including movies, music, broadcasting, publishing, animation, games, video streaming and events, has undergone major transformation in response to accelerating technological innovation and social change. These industries are no longer contained within a single country but continue to develop around the world, and the legal issues arising in relation to the production and trading of entertainment content are becoming increasingly complex. In addition, entertainment content trading is subject to regulations and transactions that are unique to the industry and often give rise to industry-specific legal issues that are different from other businesses. Our firm has many years of experience in providing assistance with intellectual property rights, such as copyrights, trademarks, and the right of publicity. In recent years, we have also been providing legal advice in new fields, such as AI, NFT and Metaverse, and we are able to provide a wide range of legal services, including contract drafting and negotiation, as well as the legal review of new business schemes. At our firm, our carefully selected attorneys and patent attorneys will utilize their extensive practical experience to sort out increasingly complex legal issues and industry-specific legal issues, taking into account industry-specific customs. In addition, when a client's business extends outside of Japan, we support the client by making full use of our global network.
