Every year we host 2 or 3 educational seminars to address the trends, case law and business practices that effect the very core of what we practice.
Our structure and reach gives us the ability to book some of the studios and networks most prolific business affairs executives and attorneys to advise and share their knowledge so we stay ahead of the curve and stay relevant in an ever changing and dynamic industry.
Some of our past seminars:
The State of the Clearance Union: Fair Use
A presentation by Alonzo Wickers IV of Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP discussing the most profound cases that have established fair use in some areas and shut the door in others.
This seminar also provided valuable insight in the "culture of clearance" and the importance of balancing liability, creative expression and costs.
Studio Licensing Panel
Our group maintains relationships with every major studio and major network in the USA. Clip Clearance is one of the most difficult and time consuming parts of the clearance process. This seminar brought together executives and staffers from licensing departments of several major studios and networks to discuss the process and answer members questions relating to the needs and requirements each studio has.
