Booking: Ideas, Inspiration and Infringement - the Three I's of the Design Industry
Date: Tuesday 23 September 2008 Location: Whenever you create a new piece of work you can’t help but being influenced by what is in the public domain – on the internet, on TV or in the streets. Sometimes, this process is highly unconscious, other times it is a very structured approach and your work will be the result of studying other people’s previous achievements although will feel very different – or quite similar. But where does inspiration end and copying begin? When can you claim an idea as your own and when is it another person’s intellectual property? Booking: The Writer Producer Director Triangle - A Guide to Good Practice of Collaboration in the Theatre
Date: Wednesday 24 September 2008 Location: Theatre is all about collaboration. Directors work with playwrights, producers work with directors and playwrights work with producers – apart from everybody else involved in a play. It is nearly inevitable to share and develop ideas with others during the production of a play or a West end show. But who will own the copyright in the end product and ultimately can exploit their rights when the show is a success? This seminar will help you to avoid pitfalls and future disputes by guiding you through certain rules and the legal framework of collaboration in the theatre. Booking: How to Make Money From Ideas - A Guide to Intellectual Property Rights for Creative People
Date: Tuesday 30 September 2008 Location: Making money from ideas and protecting ideas from being ripped off by other people is a major concern for artists, designer makers, film makers and any other creative professional. Whenever you talk about your work, exhibit or pitch for commissions you need to protect your ideas and make sure you know what to do if someone does actually copy or makes money from work that is rightfully yours. But apart from protecting your ideas, it is important to know about the value of your ideas and how to exploit your intellectual property.
