[Editors] Copyright/IP program

[William Litant]

Dear Editors:

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.

Best,
Bill

COPYRIGHTS, TRADEMARKS AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ISSUES
A special Aero-Astro Communications Program

January 18, 2005, 11:00am - 12:30pm 33-206

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.
