Copyright Laws – What We Need to Know!

Sharing information is at the core of our business and personal lives. We often copy and paste photos and articles and use them in promoting products, services and ideas. Were you ever told that “imitation is the greatest form of flattery”? OOPS!

Understanding the basics of copyright law is essential to protecting ourselves from inadvertently stealing the property of others. It is also critical that we know how to protect our intellectual property assets and communication from being stolen or misused by others.

We are honored to host Angela Doughty, Certified Trademark Law Specialist, from New Bern’s law firm, Ward and Smith, P.A., who will guide us in adopting basic sound copyright practices. Angela is a North Carolina State Bar Board Specialist in Trademark Law and a Certified Information Privacy Professional (CIPP/US) who also serves as Ward and Smith’s Director of Legal Innovation.

Angela assists clients with identifying, protecting, enforcing and managing their U.S. and international intellectual property (IP) rights. She also specializes in trademark and service mark protection, Internet and domain law issues, and software development and licensing.

Please join us in welcoming Angela Doughty to learn more about safe copyright law practices, we look forward to seeing you!
