Ten Ways to Protect Your Intellectual Property
Thursday, October 14, 5:30 to 7:30pm
Howard Leib, Esq.
Whether you are a writer, a producer, an animator or a designer, you are a creator. As creators, you develop ideas and expressions of those ideas. These expressions of your ideas are you intellectual property. This workshop is designed to give you an overview of ten options available to you to protect that intellectual property. We will discuss which ways are better than others, which are worth the money, which you can do without a lawyer and when it is time to bring the lawyer in. Time permitting, we will have a "stump the lawyer"session where you can pose your real world problems for Leib's evaluation and discussion.
Howard Leib is an entertainment attorney with over 25 years of experience in NYC who has recently moved his practice to Ithaca. He has taught Entertainment Law for Producers for New York University and expects to bring the full course to our area shortly. He offers a full range of entertainment, intellectual property and corporate law services to entertainers, creators, and companies, both for and not-for profit. For more information please visit Leib's website at http://kidsentertainment.com/esq/welcome.html

The Art of the Sale
Wednesday, October 6
4:00 to 7:30pm

Artists must be able to self promote their work. The ability to talk to potential patrons about your art in such a way as to promote a sale is a skill that can be taught!
This class will offer advice from Bettsie Park, owner of "15 Steps" on the Ithaca Commons (now in its 28th year!) and Allen C. Smith (Denny), an Elmira artist with vast experience as both a former gallery owner and with his personal studio. (Learn more at www.allencsmith.com)
Both will provide perspectives on selling, ways to engage people that can lead to a sale AND how to approach a store or gallery owner to sell your work. |
