Welcome to Bildombudsmannen

Staffan Teste, Bildombudsmannen AB, works as Picture ombudsman for Nordic countries. If you have problem to receive money from a buyer we can help you. We are involved in infringements of pictures owned by small copyright owners to big rights holders and picture agencies. As long as you own the copyright we will help you.
     Since 1977 we have helped several hundred copyright owners to receive money from a few thousand crowns to half a million. During late 90-ties we helped 18 picture agencies to receive about one million crowns from a collecting society. We help copyright owners and picture buyers to write fair contracts. We have also helped models to receive what they should and helped people, who have been unlawfully used in advertising.
     Teste is also working for BLF the Swedish organisation for photo companies and agencies in Sweden, second largest organisation of that kind in Europe and a member of Cepic.
   Staffan Teste has experience in International law in his position as a former member of the board of the European Picture agency organisation Cepic. He has represent Cepic in the World Intellectual Organisation, WIPO and in EU-hearings.
     Companies outside Sweden use Bildombudsmannen to help them with their problems in the picture world. Bildombudsmannen represent members of Picscout www.picscout.com   on Nordic countries. Staffan Teste is member of an International law discussion group in Cepic. Every year lawyers from that group meet at Cepic conference in Europe.
     Send an email to teste@bildombudsmannen.se and tell us your problems. We work on a commission base after a small amount of introduction money. If it turned out to be impossible to solve your case it does not cost you anything more.

Norsk tidning stämd för intrång

En svensk fotograf har stämt den norska tidningen Hamar Arbeiderblad för att ha använt en bild på ett skivomslag i sin tidning. Det norska skivbolaget har aldrig gjort upp med fotografen om tillstånd att få använda bilden som omslagsbild.
     I och med att skivomslaget är otillåtet är också den norska tidningens användande av omslagsbilden på skivan otillåten. Stämningen har skett vid Stockholms tingsrätt.

Tingsrätten funderar nu på om Stockholms tingsrätt är rätt instans och att svensk upphovsrätt skall tillämpas. I liknande fall har käranden kunnat stämma i sin hemort efter beslut i olika tingsrätter och en hovrätt.

Parterna förliktes när målet togs upp på nytt vid tingsrätten.
