The Wake Forest School of Law Journal of
Business and Intellectual Property invites you to attend the annual symposium, Avenue
of the Arts: Connecting Creativity, Economics and the Law, on Friday, March
23rd, from 10 AM until 3 PM.
Inspired by Winston-Salem’s reputation
as the “City of the Arts & Innovation,” this year’s symposium will focus on
the intersection of intellectual property law practice and the arts, with
special attention on the employment of artistic ventures as engines for
economic development in local communities. In the field of the arts,
intellectual property law provides artists and entrepreneurs with the tools to
protect their original works, while the business-end of the industry deals with
the monetization of such ventures. By exploring the intersections of
these forces at work within the arts, we can come to a better understanding as
to how to facilitate artistic expression in a way that both protects creators
and disseminates the work to a large audience for maximum economic benefit.
Panelists, including Wake Forest Business School alumna and North
Carolina Secretary of Cultural Resources Linda Carlisle, Wake Forest Professors
Steve Virgil, Simone Rose, and Woodrow Hood, Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Arts
Council President Milton Rhodes, professors Mike Mireles from the Pacific
School of Law and Jeff Slattery from Thomas Jefferson School of Law, and Robert
Rehm, will present on a variety of issues, including extension of protection
for copyrighted works that have fallen in the public domain, the reach of
personal liability for infringement of artistic works under the doctrines of
contributory and vicarious liability, intellectual property issues related to
public organizations, and programs designed to employ arts as an engine
for economic development.
For more information, please visit the symposium
website at http://ipjournal.law.wfu.edu/symposia/ or contact Greer Benge at bengge9@wfu.edu. Admission is free, and interested persons can attend any
portion of the panels they may choose. The keynote address by Secretary
Linda Carlisle will begin at 12:30, with a lunch served by Triad Community
Kitchen.
We look forward to seeing you on Friday for this
exciting introduction to the intersections of the arts, economy and
intellectual property!
