As editors, we need to be aware of copyright issues related to the works we are editing. To learn more about copyright in Canada as it relates to writers and editors, join us for this online seminar.

This six-hour seminar will help you figure out where a copyright issue may exist so that it can be addressed. The seminar will also review the various forms of permissions and when permissions are required. There will be ample opportunity to ask questions.

Seminar topics include:

• Creation, ownership, and registration of copyright
• Moral rights
• Infringement of copyright and moral rights
• Remedies for infringement
• Seeking and obtaining permissions
