Copycats: A Primer on Protecting and Respecting Intellectual Propertywith Debbie Stanley
Nobody likes a Copycat!
In professional organizing, every one of us creates intellectual property - and a small but mighty number of people steal it. That leaves the vast majority wondering how to protect their own material and prevent becoming copycats themselves. Understanding intellectual property laws and guidelines prevents unintended infringement and just as important, allows robust sharing of information within proper parameters.
Taught by an industry expert on both ethics and publishing, this class will arm you to make full use of your own intellectual property, prepare you to defend it if necessary, and show you how to use others' work appropriately.
In this session you will learn: |
- What intellectual property is
- Which of your materials are intellectual property
- What you can do to protect your rights
- How to properly cite and attribute others' property
|
- How much of another person's work you can use
- Why you SHOULD use others' material within legal boundaries
- How to address rights infringement, and
- Where to go for more information and assistance
