Tips)
As networked computing becomes ubiquitous we all know that authors, publishers, and distributers find themselves unsure about who owns what. Our guest experts this week will share the latest wisdom about the "other" IP: Intellectual Property, and also address some other IT legal questions like:
- How personal are "personal" computers?
- What should your relationship be with your institution's legal counsel?
- Can you ignore the ECPA?
- Do recent legislation and court opinions affect your
job responsibilities?
Join CREN's knowledgeable guests at your desktop on January 14 and don't forget to make sure you ask your questions! You can participate in the event by sending your questions to expert@cren.net before or during the broadcast.
