Workshop outline

Many aspects of starting a business are confusing, fun, annoying or boring – how do you describe Copyright and Trademarks? Perplexing, very annoying, very boring?  Are you aware of them at all?  If you want to protect what you are offering, producing, designing or creating, then you are very likely to come across rights – the rights that you are creating in your business and the rights of others if you are using their works to help you

  • Have you written anything? Book, instructions, guidelines, lyrics, music?
  • Have you designed anything? Logos, fashion, illustrations?
  • Are you using photographs and other images? Whose – yours or someone else’s?
  • Are you playing music in your business?  Are you licensed?
  • Have you made anything? Crafts, clothes, pottery, paintings?
  • Are you using the Internet and Social Media? For sales, marketing, advertising, research, promotion?
  • How do you protect any or all of the above?
  • How do you exploit your work?
  • Has your work already been copied in some way without your permission?
  • Have you been approached to sell designs, photographs or illustrations?

How much control of your work do you want to retain?

All these questions and doubtless many more, will be dealt with by Alan Rae, of © Here, a local copyright consultant with over 30 years experience of helping people with their rights, in a highly interactive, jargon-free workshop.
