PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CONFERENCE WILL BE IN FRENCH.
Studio XX is pleased to launch a new series of Mini-Conferences related to issues of our day.
Guest Speaker: Ms. Mayi-Eder Inchauspé, lawyer specializing in Canadian and French intellectual property issues.
Summary:::
In her presentation, Ms. Inchauspé will outline delicate issues currently surrounding intellectual property rights. It will first and foremost outline the philosophical bases of intellectual property rights and define the concepts behind the following basic terms: artwork, author, commercial rights, Copywright and Copyleft, intellectual property, pubic domain and Creative Commons licenses.
The underlying philosophy of Open Source introduced a new way of thinking, in counterpoint to established practices. This new context puts into question intellectual property rights.
A deeper understanding of intellectual property rights is the goal of this conference. Ms. Inchauspé will offer a session allowing artists and people generally interested by this topic to better understand and grasp the issues surrounding intellectual property rights.
