Greater Erie Film Office Seminar: Intellectual Property, Copyright and Trademark for Creative Works

Attorney D'Silva will explain the difference between copyrights and trademarks, what they protect, how they're enforced, and how to secure them for your own work. He will also explain how embedded trademarks create opportunities for funding and revenue.
