Topic 1: Creative uses of IP – and how to stop them (May 2008)

How to book

From website-scraping to user-generated content, a threat to one company's intellectual property is an opportunity to another. Exploring the strengths and weaknesses of IP laws, we ask: how should the rights-holder keep control in a Web 2.0 market? Our lawyers present both sides of the story:

• Permitted uses of content and brands
• Controlling that use and protecting value
• Parody marketing: using a proposed new law

The event lasts one hour. All delegates will receive a comprehensive pack.

Topic 2: Marketing on the web: top legal tips (June 2008)

How to book

In the wake of the UK's first court ruling on sponsored links, we explain the legal issues you need to know and the practical steps you can take to promote your business and protect your brand on the web. We cover:

• Search engine marketing and the law
• New rules on unfair commercial practices
• Widgets for Facebook and OpenSocial

This one-hour event will not cover the legal issues of domain names, blogging and prize draws, all of which were addressed in recent OUT-LAW seminars. All delegates will receive a comprehensive pack.

Who should attend these seminars?

While these are legal events, prior legal knowledge is not required. We keep our talks as practical and commercial as we can.

Our Spring 2008 events should appeal to a range of people: entrepreneurs, managers, directors, in-house lawyers and marketers in all types of organisation from marketing agencies to manufacturers, from High Street retailers to banks. Please note: we do not accept bookings from private practice solicitors, trade mark attorneys or students.

Several hundreds people attended our Autumn 2007 series of OUT-LAW Breakfast Seminars. Here is how they rated the events:

Delegates also say that these events provide good networking opportunities.
