PROGRAM: Whether a designer, content developer, artist, programmer – if you create material – do you know your copyrights? Is it different if you are an employee, consultant, contractor? If you are the owner of a business and your employees create work that you consider company owned, are you correct? Are there limitations? How do you enforce your rights?

These questions, and others, related to intellectual property appear on the DCWW list frequently. Now you have the chance to speak to the experts face to face!

Join us, as we host an interactive panel discussion on February 16th on Copyright and Intellectual Property.
