Join Visiting Professor at UCLA Law School, David Nimmer, nano scientist and Professor of Chemistry, James Gimzewski and media artist and Chair of D|MA, Victoria Vesna for an informative discussion on copyright ownership issues related to art and science collaborations on campus. The session will focus on ownership of intellectual property in the university
environment, issues of licensing, patenting and copyrights.

Copyright and the "fair use" doctrine are of special concern in education and research. Every day educators and scholars deal with the creation and communication of ideas and information embodied in copyrighted works. As both creators and users of copyrighted and public domain materials, it is vital that the University of California faculty, students, and staff understand and responsibly exercise the rights accorded them under the copyright law, particularly now in light of new technologies and laws that challenge long-standing educational and library exemptions and interpretations.
