Seminars of the GAMA Trade Shows

Presenter: Gregory Silberman

The successes and failures of companies to properly protect their intellectual property is often a measure of the successes and failures of the companies themselves. While copyright and trademark law are well known tools for protecting the intellectual property of a game, patents are often misunderstood or overlooked entirely to the potential detriment of the developer or publisher. This session will discuss what you need to know NOW to use patents to protect your intellectual property, avoidliability for patent infringement, and will discuss proactive steps you can take. Regardless of the size of your company, you can always improve the IP protection of your assets, from game artwork, to game play methods, to components, and even software.
