Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents (which are all types of IP) are important aspects of creative rights and products (like music, film, and software). Likewise, laws and policy governing the protection of these properties are equally significant. This seminar will provide a brief overview of IP rights, examine pending IP legislation in the U.S., such as the Performance Rights Act, and introduce the role of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations which promotes the protection of IP around the world.
This seminar will also provide preliminary information about a study abroad trip to Geneva, Switzerland in Summer 2010 to study WIPO and IP issues. Additional seminars will be scheduled to provide more detailed information about the study abroad program and IP issues that may be examined during the trip.

Date: Wednesday, November 18, 2009
Location: Rm. 100, Massey
Time: 10:00 a.m.-11:00a.m.
Approved for Convo Credit: Yes
Contact: Prof. Cheryl L. Slay, x6534 with any questions
If you have followed the instructions above, especially step one, and you have a problem with a seminar credit, contact the COORDINATOR FOR YOUR MAJOR.
Q: Do "Insider's View" and seminar count the same for seminar credit? A: Yes
Q: I am an MBU (EIS,AET) major. Can I go to a SNG seminar and get credit? A: Yes, if room permits you may attend another program's seminar and receive credit.
Q: I attended an event and I have not yet received credit. What should I do? A: First, you should not expect credit to be posted any sooner than a week after the event. It is also important to make sure that you get your card properly scanned. Students are often fooled into thinking they got their card scanned because they are not paying attention to the process: They hear the beep of the scanner and assume that it was their card that was scanned. Another common problem occurs when both seminar and convo credit are given. In those cases you have to get scanned twice - once for each type of credit.
If you still have concerns a week after the event email the seminar coordinator for your major. They are listed at the bottom of the www.curbcollege.info website. Make sure you include all the requested information. If you leave this information out we will not be able to respond to your request.
Q. I attended an event but forgot to get my card scanned. Can I still get credit? A; No. You must have your card properly scanned AT THE EVENT to get credit.
Q. I have a very busy schedule and can't make it to showcases or writers nights. Can I just go to five seminars instead? A: No. Seminars cannot be substituted for showcases or vice versa.
