ABOUT
THE SPEAKERS AND PRESENTATION:
Abstract:
Intellectual
property is the most valuable asset of many companies. However, without proper
attention to contracts, record keeping, and related legal issues, a company's IP
portfolio can be decimated and the company can take on legal liability - such as
a suit for infringement or an audit by the BSA (Business Software Alliance).
This presentation will help you avoid the most common pitfalls when dealing
with copyright and software issues. Highlights include:
* What is Intellectual Property?
* IP Rights in Software: Trade Secret,
Patent, Copyright
* Who owns it? Author, Employer, Work
Made for Hire
* What is Fair Use?
* Key Terms in License Agreements
* Key Terms in Development Agreements
