Learn about the legal differences between art and design.
As an artist or designer you may not necessarily realise the significance of classifying your work as artistic or design work. However, in law, this can have crucial implications.
In this seminar, we spoke about the difference between copyright, which applies to artistic work, and design rights. We talked about recent developments in the law and how to avoid pitfalls, for example, when signing contracts with commissioners.
Speaking at the event was David Stone, author of the book European Union Design Law: A Practitioners' Guide, and partner at Simmons & Simmons.
The seminar was hosted by Own-it in collaboration with DACS.
