Games

On the way to the next level: The entertainment industry without the gaming sector is unthinkable today.

Also thanks to tremendous enthusiasm for innovation that has long since extended beyond technological implementation. Revenue models such as in-game purchases not only survived the digital change, but mastered it superbly. It is specifically because of this high level of innovation that the gaming industry needs legal assistance that is keeping pace with this speed. As a matter of fact, legal requirements can change just as quickly, for example if augmented reality games make the whole world the playing field, thus raising liability and privacy issues that have never before been encountered by publishers in this way.

Our expertise also comprises IP matters as well as the clearing of rights to game engines or soundtracks are also dropped. We advise industry players from start-ups to established AAA publishers – whether in project business or in the designing of licensing agreements. By drafting codes of conduct and Terms of Use, we ensure that the atmosphere on servers remains fair and sportive. And if the arrival of virtual reality in the mainstream again entails new legal issues about gaming, clients can firmly expect SKW Schwarz to be at the forefront in finding answers.
