The Writer’s Law School – in-person event

For artists and writers, it’s difficult to obtain information about protecting your rights of your creative projects.

• The differences between Copyright, Trademarks, Patents and Service Marks
• The Copyright Registration Process and the CASE law
• What is the Public Domain?
• What is the Fair Use Doctrine?
• Which Business Entity is best for my writing career?
• What are the Right of Privacy, Libel and Slander?
