We were back a third time to give the legal presentations at this year's ComicCon; I think we had the best reception that we've ever had! It was quite flattering; people actually came to our lecture this year because they heard me and my colleague Sheafe speak last year, and wanted to see us present again.
The lectures ...on both days were extremely well attended. Saturday's lecture was filled to capacity, with people standing against the walls to hear us present. Afterwards, Sheafe and I were mobbed with people asking for business cards, and whether or not we would be presenting on Sunday as well. Throughout the weekend, as we walked the floor as attendees, we were constantly stopped by people who recognized us and wanted to know more about comic book law.
Look for convention video to be posted here soon!

Intellectual Property 101 -
Your superhero has the power to bend time, space, and reality… but can he or she land a licensing deal? And just how do you protect your rights? Artists often spend years creating winning characters or works, only to lose at the bargaining table because they haven't prepared for the deal or have failed to properly protect their rights. In this seminar, you'll learn to prepare the legal aspects of your creations for they're ready to be sold and also how to protect your works. Scheduled topics to be discussed include an overview of copyrights, trademarks, and rights in ideas, the importance and how to register your copyrights and trademarks, what to do if someone is improperly using your works or ideas, nondisclosure agreements, work for hire relationships, the pitfalls of joint authorship, employment contracts, and negotiating licensing agreements.
