We have designed a system that registers, protects and maintains your music IP so that you can focus on what you do best.
what is MUSOIP?
MUSOIP is an IP registration, storage and management system specifically designed for musicians. It allows you to upload your recorded music files and all of the important details including ownership, collaborations, date, time and place of recording and any specific conditions relating to the sharing and use of the music file. You can access MUSOIP anywhere in the world and have access to your music files in one location. MUSOIP is also supported by our experienced legal advisors to support you as your music library grows.
what happens next?
Once your sound file is submitted, we register your music in an IP Register dedicated to you as a performing artist. Establishing and maintaining an IP register is an important, and critical step in the protection of your assets. That register is accessible to you but is locked and protected so that we provide you with a single source of update and control, providing you with the confidence you need.
why is protecting your IP so important?
Without adequate protection, your IP (sound files, logos, branding, designs, song titles, performing names and titles) is vulnerable to copyright and broader ownership or IP breach claims into the future. Clearly establishing the origin of your IP and its authors / inventors is a critical aspect of IP protection for artists. Accordingly, MUSOIP was designed and established by our team of lawyers and systems designers to provide musicians with an easy, accessible and cost-effective method of quickly registering and maintaining IP.
are there other things you should consider?
There are a number of aspects that we recommend musicians consider as they move into the professional sphere including trademarks for logos, band names, slogans and designs as well as broader IP protections when considering entering into contracts relating to performances, recording and production or for merchandise and other brand related aspects.
Contact us at admin@mjilawyers.com for advice on any of these issues.
what are the costs?
We understand the nature of the music industry and the pressures placed on performing artists. With that in mind, we offer our MUSOIP APP for a monthly membership fee that provides for the registration, storage and protection of your IP and provides you with access to legal and commercial management advice.
The MUSOIP Monthly Membership Fee is $95.95 + GST for a 12 month membership.
