Month 7- Advanced Entertainment Law

In Advanced Entertainment Law, we learned how to assess the many liabilities that our companies may face and also how to protect our intellectual property. Some intellectual property may include different trademarks that our companies acquire. For our Leadership Portfolio, we had to option of either talking with an entertainment attorney about their experiences or viewing different podcasts that relate to business liabilities that our business could face. I chose the second option. I'm doing an entertainment company for teenagers and one of our products is a magazine so there is a lot that can go wrong with that. Some of those liabilities include plagiarism, trademark infringement, and libel/slander. This class taught me that you can never be too careful when it comes to protecting your business. Your company name, logo, and slogan (if applicable) should be copyrighted. But before you try to copyright it, make sure that it doesn't conflict with something else that is copyrighted because you could have a lawsuit on your hands.
