Sudeep Audio Partners With MNSQ Legal, Announces 'Legally SAfe' Legal Services For Pro Audio Industry

Published 10^th May, 2023

Sudeep Audio announces legal services called Legally SAfe to help safeguard the rights and interests of sound engineers in India

In a bid to protect and safeguard the professional rights and integrity of individuals engaged in the field of pro audio and music industry, Sudeep Audio, in conjunction with Mumbai-based legal firm MNSQ Legal - which consists of lawyers carrying over 30 years of work experience in the media & entertainment industry - announced an initiative providing patrons a 360-degree immersive experience of the media and entertainment industry within India and globally.

Sudeep Audio announced the expansion of its services, called Legally SAfe, to now include legal matters (at special rates for Sudeep Audio customers) regarding intellectual property (IP), encompassing trademark (word mark and logo), and the copyright registration of any or all of the below:

Literary works (including, but not limited to, lyrics, books, anthologies, journal and newspaper articles, reports, conference papers, working papers, computer software and programs, letters, emails, novels, poetry, databases, tables and compilations)
Dramatic works (including, but not limited to, plays, screenplays, scripts, choreographic notation, choreographic shows, and scenarios for a film - but not the film itself)
Musical works (song composition/melody/tune, etc.)
Artistic works (including, but not limited to, photographs, paintings, sculptures, maps, charts, graphs, diagrams, cartoons - static, but not moving animations)
Cinematograph films, including music videos (i.e. any kind of audio-visual clip provided for uploading onto mobile/digital platforms)
Sound recordings

Furthermore, Sudeep Audio's panel of legal experts are available for reviewing any kind of music-related paperwork related to a label, director, or producer, including, but not limited to:

Consultation for legal advice or for preparation/review of any kind of written documents (e.g., any music-related paperwork [be it with a label, director or producer], Wills, leases, agreements, etc.)
Mediation to help disputing parties reach a mutually agreeable settlement
Litigation for resolving disputes across various legal forums
Preparation/drafting/filing/registration/notarization of legal documents
Representation of clients in negotiations, arbitration, and in-court and other judicial/quasi-judicial platforms

Protecting the sound engineers' copyrights ensures that they have exclusive rights to their creative works, such as music recordings, corporate logos. This means that no one can reproduce, distribute, or display their work without their permission, giving them control over how their work is used.

Reviewing legal contracts can also help to identify any hidden fees or unexpected terms and conditions, allowing sound engineers to negotiate more favorable terms or avoid entering into a problematic agreement.
