Long Description:
In this session, games lawyer Anna Poulter-Jones will provide an overview for tabletop retailers and other industry professionals on fundamental points of commercial and intellectual property law, as well as providing a toolset for licensing and protecting IP, with practical examples on how to navigate more challenging areas such as open licensing (think OGLs, ORCs, Creative Commons, and the like) and artificial intelligence. The value of tabletop games businesses largely resides in the IP which they own or can commercialise, so being aware of your IP rights, how best to protect them and how to navigate the rights of others can be crucial to the growth and success of businesses in this space. Which is also why, as the past year has shown us, many of the most complex and contentious issues within the tabletop industry come down to core principles of intellectual property law.
