Event Details

Join the San Diego Law Library for the eighth annual Lindley Law & Comics panel at the San Diego Public Library. This year our panelists will cover multiple facets involved in the business of comics. We will explore intellectual property ownership and the creation of new characters, the hazy legal world of crowdfunding and crowdfunded equity, and the legal status of fan fiction and other fan-created content. Foreign countries offer entirely new opportunities, as well as unique risks. We’ll look for answers about whether you should produce a finished, physical product, a sample or teaser, or just an electronic proof-of-concept. How do you protect your creation and what should you be aware of – legally speaking? Learn from creators and attorneys who’ve been there. All attendees will be entered to win a secret prize pack.
