How SMEs Can Benefit from Copyright
A very wide range of creative works - such as books, music, paintings, photographs, sculptures, architecture, films, computer programs, video games and original databases - are protected by copyright.
You can really boost the value of your SME business if you give some consideration to the benefits of copyright.
