How do you share and protect your creative work - your intellectual property - online and with confidence?
This seminar will offer invaluable advice on how to protect your creative work online, from the ownership of images, text, audio and video - to your ideas themselves.
It will cover issues of ownership and the implications for IP (Intellectual Property) when shared through blogging or social media and it will introduce some simple steps that you can take to ensure that you can protect your own IP, while taking care not to infringe that of others.
This special seminar is designed to offer advice and support to any professional (or aspiring professional) creative people who are looking to develop their understanding of the legal issues that are likely to affect their art, design, writing or performance work once it is published online.
The seminar will be led by Silvia Baumgart, Project Coordinator for Own-it who specialise in IP and copyright advice on for creative people and their businesses.
