IP: Ownership, Liability, Protection & More
On January 27, 2010, Bernice Karn will be an instructor for "IP: Ownership, Liability, Protection & More," a course that is part of Osgoode Professional Development's Lunch'N Learn Teleseminar Series.
Increased use of social networking sites means more access to information and content, which has important consequences for businesses and their clients. It is imperative that companies become more vigilant in deciding what content is to be used and what content can be generated by others. This session will guide you through this legal labyrinth and discuss:
- The key legal issues and challenges for social media applications in the context of copyright, licensing and intellectual property law:
- Who owns content and who is responsible for its use?
- What are the liability issues for 3rd party posting of information/content?
- When do you need permission to use content generated by a third party?
- Where do you draw the line between appropriate and inappropriate use of your intellectual property?
- How do you make content available without giving everything away freely?
- Recent litigation cases with aggregating sites and impact on use of social media
- Tips on developing guidelines and policies for use of intellectual property and copyrighted material
