Publishing and Writing Law

Issues related to publishing and writing law have always been with us but with the rise of the Internet, those issues have been accentuated and indeed, new issues have arisen.   Attorneys need to be familiar with the numerous and complex issues that arise at the junction of contract law, copyright law, trademark law and Internet law.   This course is not only about all those issues but significantly, about how to help clients make money from their intellectual property.  The “mantra” should be “own everything.”
