JANUARY 12, 2011: COPYRIGHT & IDEA SUBMISSION LAW FOR WRITERS
With Marc S. Williams, Esq.
This workshop will address the basics of copyright and idea submission law for writers. While most examples we will cover come from motion picture cases, the workshop is relevant to all writers. How do you obtain and enforce rights under copyright laws? What are the best practices for protecting your ideas, even if they are not protected under copyright laws? This workshop will clarify questions writers have about their contributions when they are not the final or only writers on a project.
