Talent
contract, becoming increasingly more popular in the Polish legal market, is a
kind of a very characteristic civil law contract, used in legal practice, for
example, to regulate the legal relationship between an investor and a
“performer” in the sports, advertising, artistic and other freelance
industries.
Interest in this type of agreements from the American jurisdiction results from the fact that KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI LEGAL participates in cross-border cooperation for foreign clients in projects of contractually securing legal interests from the perspective of the rights of the creator and producer of new technologies for products intended for the professional sports sector, such as utility equipment using artificial intelligence (for example: augmented reality glasses).
Participation in the webinar of KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI LEGAL team is based on:
seeking legal solutions in the implementation of solutions for the protection of patent and property rights (including license rights) of software copyrights;
exchange of experience as to the practical effectiveness of contractual clauses relating to the protection of the software producers against liability resulting from the legal regulations (including the European Union) concerning dangerous products;
effective legal solutions in creating contracts between the organizers of e-sport games and their participants; especially with regard to issues such as image protection, remuneration, financial conditions for participation in professional e-sport events, as well as issues related to sponsorship, streaming royalties; legal rules for using the equipment.
KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI KG LEGAL was addressed to participate in cross-border expert consultations as part of one of the European Commission’s projects aimed at supervising the application of the European Union law. As part of the project, managed by a renowned global audit institution based in Brussels, KIEŁTYKA GŁADKOWSKI KG LEGAL was asked to evaluate the application of the Regulation (EC) 805/2004 of 2004 establishing a European Enforcement Order for uncontested claims.
The study is intended to assess the functioning of the provisions of the Regulation (EC) 805/2004 and the judicial practice of using the European Enforcement Order in individual jurisdictions.
In particular, the assessment will concern the functioning of the Regulation (EC) 805/2004, based on the current practice, and its comparison with the initial assumptions underlying the adoption of this EU act, also taking into account possible cases of incorrect application of the Regulation or the resulting undesirable effects.
