Who it's for

This service is designed for any creator who finds themselves needing help or clarity regarding their intellectual property rights. Whether you are an individual artist, a digital creator, or a freelancer working in the gig economy, if you have questions about how your work is protected or how to manage your rights, this service is available to you.

What you get

The primary benefit of this service is access to free legal advice regarding copyright disputes. This support is intended to help you navigate the complexities of intellectual property law without the immediate burden of legal fees. Additionally, you can use this service to have your contracts reviewed. Having a professional look over your agreements can help ensure that your rights are properly maintained before you sign any binding documents.

What it costs you

The catch to know

It is important to understand the specific boundaries of this service. While the commission provides expert advice and guidance to help you understand your situation, they do not act as your legal representative. This means they will provide you with information and counsel, but they will not represent you or argue your case in a court of law.

How to apply

  1. Access the official portal to find the counseling section.
  2. Prepare the details of your copyright dispute or the specific contract you need reviewed.
  3. Submit an online request or prepare to engage in a phone consultation.
