Construction Law & IP Joint Sections Meeting (virtual)

The Intersection Between Copyright and Construction Law

SPEAKERS
Lawrence G. Townsend | Owen, Wickersham & Erickson, P.C.

The MCBA Construction Law and Intellectual Property Sections announces their joint virtual presentation, The Intersection Between Copyright and Construction Law. Join us Thursday, May 18th from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM.

Learn about what every construction lawyer needs to know. Copyright is strict liability. For example, contractors may be liable for constructing a building having unknown copyrighted features. Or tearing down or altering a building that incorporates artwork the contractor didn’t even know was artwork. How to recognize and avoid potential liabilities.

We look forward to seeing you virtually!
