When artists create a work of art, they may automatically have intellectual property rights to certain design elements. Attorney and jewelry-maker, Sarah Feingold, will provide attendees with helpful information concerning the types of intelletual property protection available to artists; how to obtain this protection; and the rights artists have even if they take no formal action to protect their intellectual property. This one and one-half hour seminar will be illustrated with a PowerPoint presentation and be followed by a question-and-answer period.

Each attendee will receive an outline of the presentation and additional information for obtaining U.S. copyright registration for a group of artwork.

Sarah is an attorney licensed to practice law in New York. She is also a jeweler with her own business, Feingold Jewelry. A former journalist, Sarah currently serves as general counsel for Etsy, Inc. (www.etsy.com), an online venue to buy and sell all things handmade. Sarah also lectures and writes on the topic of intellectual property rights of artists.
