Copyright talk for graphic designers - 7 Nov

"Hey Man, It's the Fuzz

The law sure can be fuzzy. That's why we've brought you two legal wizards who really understand what's up with the issues facing graphic designers. For most designers these revolve around copyright.

Learn how you can protect your copyright, exploit it, and resolve issues surrounding it. You'll also hear what you can do to ensure your clients protect your work and treat it as a valuable asset. After all, if clients fail to protect their identities they start to devalue design รถ and you as designer.

Chris Finn, AGDA's honorary solicitor since 1988, has been a career-long advisor to those in the creative industries, particularly graphic designers. He is an Accredited Specialist in Business Law who lectures part-time to visual arts students in Business Law and Intellectual Property. He's also been a commentator for the Australian Law Reform Commission on the overlap of designs and copyright.

Trevor Choy is a trade mark expert and a principal of Choy Lawyers, which focuses exclusively on the development and protection of brands. Choy Lawyers acts for advertising agencies and consumer product companies and has been ranked as Highly recommended" in this area by Legal Profiles. In 2005, Choy Lawyers won Best Intellectual Property Law Firm at the Australian Law Awards.

Forget the fuzz, find out the facts.
