In the second part
participants will examine how to resolve disputes without
going to court. The creative advantages of mediation,
arbitration, and small claims will be discussed.
This interactive workshop
will focus on copyrights, providing practical information on
various legal topics related to the protection of artwork and
creative service work products. A registered copyright provides
protection of ownership and strengthens your rights against
infringers. Understand and explore the simple procedure for
registering a copyright and your rights under the law. Special
situations will be discussed, such as images of one artist being
included in the work of another, works for hire, licensing,
copyright infringement and “fair use.” All artists
and creative professionals are encouraged to attend: painters,
sculptors, photographers, print makers, designers, cartoonists,
animators, craftspeople, writers, publishers, and others.
No prerequisite.
All participants of
this seminar will get a 20% discount for the following seminar
on Contracts and Consignments for Artists and Creative Professionals.
