Monday, July 26 to Wednesday, July 28, 2021
UPGRADE YOUR SKILLS: Copyright law has become a key consideration in a large number of areas of our society and economy. At the same time, it is becoming more complex,
as legislators, courts, public institutions and businesses all struggle to address the impact of new technologies, new uses and new legal issues. Now you have a chance to learn from
some of Canada’s copyright experts’ valuable practical insights into the impact of these changes and how to deal with them.
KEY BENEFITS: In-depth analysis of copyright law with a focus on the changing landscape, including legislative amendments and recent
cases. Practical advice from experienced counsel. An opportunity to interact daily with some of the top copyright lawyers in Canada.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: This course will be of great benefit to in-house counsel, practising lawyers, librarians, intellectual property managers, contract managers,
licensing executives and business persons who deal with copyright issues as part of their responsibilities or practice. The focus is on practical issues and understanding
how copyright considerations arise in a variety of business settings. The course will be of greatest benefit to participants who have been previously exposed to copyright issues.
The instructors will presume that each participant is reasonably familiar with general copyright concepts.
