<div>Dear Editors:</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Next week I will be chairing a meeting a presentation on
Copyright/Intellectual Property as part of a series of communications
programs I produce for Aero-Astro. This is a repeat (by popular
demand) of a similar program we held last year. Members of the
Editor's are welcome to attend -- but please RSVP to me NO LATER than
9 on Tuesday (18 Jan.) as the session could be crowded and I may have
to limit attendance at some point. Hope to see some of you
there.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div>Bill</div>

<div><font size="+1" color="#000000">Lots of people have erroneous
ideas about intellectual property, trademark, and copyright laws. Are
you free to post on the Web journal papers you've written? Do you need
a written release to put pictures of students on your site? Does MIT
own materials you've created? What are the rules for reproducing study
materials for students? Is there really such a thing as "fair
use"? How do you protect your creations from infringement? Don't
ignore the rules - learn them. This program will be led by attorneys
from the MIT Intellectual Property Counsel's Office.</font></div>
