Description

The numbers of active social media monthly users worldwide are staggering--Instagram (1.35 billion), YouTube (2.6 billion), Facebook (2.9 billion), WhatsApp (2.78 billion), Pinterest (463 million), and Twitter (353 million)--and increasing. Social media users are sharing, tweeting, pinning, and posting a variety of intellectual property, including pictures, videos, articles, and more--usually without the owner's permission.

Counsel to IP owners must understand the legal implications of recent court decisions on online sharing of their intellectual property. When does fair use permit the posting of material on social media, and when is it just infringement?

Counsel must monitor and protect their IP and balance pursuing infringement against the value of leveraging viral marketing.

Listen as our authoritative panel of IP attorneys examines whether the use of trademarks and copyrights is fair use and the risk of infringement that companies face from social media as well as offers strategies for protecting marks and copyrights and monitoring and minimizing the infringement risk.
