Best Answer

It depends on their line of business. Most companies will be creating documents such as brochures and advertising that would be protected by copyright, but may also include others' protected work such as images and even fonts. Other companies exist solely to license intellectual property; the biggest example of this is the Harry Fox Agency, which issues mechanical licenses for recorded music.
