Blank Rome partner David M. Perry will serve as a panelist for the Financial Poise CeriFi LegalEdge (formerly West LegalEdcenter) live webinar, “Intellectual Property 101 2025: Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks...Oh My!” being held February 12, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. EST.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
A copyright is a valuable piece of intellectual property that protects many types of original works, not just artistic, literary, or musical works. Copyright laws are intended to “feed the artist” and give owners the right to reproduce their works and prevent others from doing so without the owner’s permission. This webinar also explores whether a copyright attaches to works created by AI, and how to best protect AI works while avoiding infringing on copyrighted works of others.
A trademark—whether a word, slogan, design, color, color combination, overall look or feel of an item or its packaging, or even a sound—enables customers to identify the source of goods or services. As such, companies should understand the benefits and pitfalls associated with U.S. trademark laws if they ever hope to develop a successful brand.
A patent is a property right that gives an inventor the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, selling, or importing an invention. This webinar series explores the different types of patents, including utility, design, and plant patents and their respective patent terms. Additionally, participants learn about inventions that cannot be protected with patents and how to best protect new and cutting technology, such as AI.
This webinar is delivered in Plain English, understandable to you even if you do not have a background in the subject. It brings you into an engaging, even sometimes humorous, conversation designed to entertain as it teaches. It is specifically designed to be viewed as a stand-alone webinar, meaning that you do not have to view other series’ episodes to get a lot out of it.
