Webinar: Copyright Basics for the Generalist In-House Counsel
Sponsored by Foley Hoag LLP
What does the generalist in-house counsel need to know about copyright? While patents and trademarks often receive the lion’s share of an organization’s intellectual property focus, copyrights comprise a critical third prong to a healthy overarching IP strategy – even for companies whose products and services involve little or no content creation.
Foley Hoag LLP presents a webinar offering guidance for in-house counsel regarding copyright law, including the basics of U.S. copyright protection and registration, copyright disputes, copyright protection from a European perspective, and the interplay between copyright, the internet, and emerging technologies.
