SUMMARY:Legal Hour: Copyright and Intellectual Property
DESCRIPTION:Legal Hour: Copyright and Intellectual Property\nThursday 23rd April\, from 13:00 BST (UK time) | Online\nCopyright is one of the most misunderstood areas of law for working artists and one of the most important. \nThis Legal Hour session focuses entirely on copyright and intellectual property\, giving artists a dedicated space to ask the questions that come up again and again in practice: who owns the rights to a commissioned piece\, what happens when someone reproduces your work without permission\, and what you can actually do about it. \nPierre Valentin returns to guide the conversation\, drawing on decades of experience advising artists\, galleries\, and institutions on copyright matters across the UK and internationally. \nArtists are invited to ask about topics such as: \n\nWho owns the copyright when you create a commissioned work\nWhat rights you retain when you sell an original piece\nHow to protect your work from unauthorised reproduction online\nWhat to do if someone uses your image\, design\, or artwork without permission\nHow licensing works and what terms to look out for The difference between copyright\, moral rights\, and resale rights\n\nThis session is designed for visual artists at all career stages – whether you work on commission\, sell through galleries\, license your work commercially\, or share it online. \nGuest Speaker Pierre Valentin – Art Lawyer Pierre is one of the most respected art lawyers practising today and a leading figure in art and cultural property law. With over 25 years of experience\, he has advised collectors\, galleries\, artists\, museums\, auction houses\, private banks\, and institutions across the UK\, Europe\, the USA\, the Middle East and Asia.
