The program will take place on Tuesday, September 26 from 6 to 9:15 p.m. at the DC Bar Conference Center, 1250 H Street, NW, Washington, DC.
This class provides an introduction to copyright infringement litigation. It will begin with an overview of copyright infringement issues, including copyright subject matter, duration, formalities, works made for hire, and recent amendments to the copyright law.
Jurisdiction, venue, pleadings, and causes of action will be considered. Motions, discovery, and trial issues and strategies, including affirmative defenses such as fair use, will be explored.
