Description: This presentation offers an overview of a wide range of issues related to protecting your intellectual property, with a focus on how to avoid disputes and how to resolve them when they arise. We will cover topics including:

  • The basics on whether and how to register your copyrights and trademarks

  • How questions of ownership of copyrights and trademarks are decided

  • Ways to protect your work from infringement online using the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

  • Litigation over ownership - discussions of recent high-profile cases such as Tracy Chapman v. Nicki Minaj and Katy Perry v. The Flame, and war stories from personal experience

  • New “small claims” forum for copyright disputes created by the CASE Act

  • How to use CLA’s mediation program if you need it, and how some of the disputes discussed in this presentation may have gone differently had the parties gone to mediation

Panelists: Alma Robinson, Cari Cohorn
