Being copied and someone else ripping off your creative ideas is a major concern once you start to sell, publicise and promote your creative work. You need to protect your ideas and make sure you know what to do if someone does actually copy or makes money from work that is rightfully yours.

This seminar will offer a basic guide to the law, covering the steps any creative professional should take in order to stop somebody else stealing or otherwise using your work without your permission (including copyright, patenting, trade marks, licensing and design rights.)
There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

‘Good coverage of a wide field of IP law. Not all of it was relevant to my area of interest but it explained similar and related aspects, which may affect me, and explained them clearly and simply. …’ Delegate in February 08

The event is organised by Own-it in conjunction with Innovation Central and supported by Creativematch.
