As an artist, your intellectual property is a valuable asset. Join MICA and MDVLA for a workshop about the basics of copyright, trademark, and patent law. The presentation will discuss what each type of intellectual property does and does not cover, ownership rights, and the steps you can take to prevent or address infringement of your work. Join if you’ve wondered what it means to share copyright with a co-author on song lyrics, if you can patent a clothing design, if you should register a trademark for your logo, or if you have any other questions specific to your work.
