Blocking

Legal Consultancy & Support

Our team of experts can provide all the help, advice and support you need to navigate the legal processes required for blocking orders.

Experience makes the process smoother.

When you need legal advice, you want a trusted advisor. That's as true in the world of content protection as it is in real life.

Nobody has more experience of the processes involved in setting up and implementing blocking than FMTS. Since the very first orders, our teams of experts have helped design, obtain, operate and maintain blocking orders of all types for content owners and their broadcast partners around the world. In 2017 FMTS pioneered Dynamic Server Blocking with the one of the world's largest and most premium content owners.

We offer guidance and support throughout the process, from planning to implementation, through to ongoing support on issues such as challenges and blocking order renewals and updates.

360° support

We provide a wraparound strategic service to support you and your legal counsel throughout the process of obtaining your order and beyond, from planning, evidence gathering and application, to operation, monitoring and renewal. Whether you're a content owner or a media broadcast partner, FMTS has the experience required to help you navigate the legal and technical processes as quickly and smoothly as possible.

The right strategy

Our experience gives us an unrivalled understanding of how blocking orders can be most effective and how this is achieved in a structured and timely manner. We'll work with you and your legal counsel to help you decide which approach will work best for you and design the appropriate blocking strategy.

Legal applications

Courts and regulatory bodies are looking for specific and compelling evidence when deciding whether to grant a blocking order. Our teams have long experience of gathering, analysing and presenting this data in the most effective way possible. We provide data and analysis on your piracy landscape and the scale and scope of infringement to prove the proposed blocking strategy which we then present as evidence or as expert witness testimony.
