Self defence for software developers: Legal implications of software development
Tuesday 5th June 2007
6.30pm - 8.30pm
Robert Recorde Room, Faraday Building
Swansea University, SA2 8PP
Guest Speaker: Bruce Burniston, Consultant Solicitor, John Collins & Partners LLP
Software is integral to every business. Whether you just use off the shelf packages (e.g. Windows), or you develop and sell software yourself, you need to understand who owns it, and how it can be
commercially exploited. Bruce Burniston, who has advised businesses on Intellectual Property (IP) legal issues for over 20 years will present a workshop on this subject, and will cover the following
common questions:-
What is IP and how can Software be protected?
Do I really own the IP rights in my Software, or could others have a claim to it?
How good are my confidentiality measures?
How do I protect myself when collaborating with others?
What are the essential points to negotiate when licensing my Software to someone else?
If any one or more of these questions is relevant to your business then you should find this workshop of value.
This event forms part of the ITWales Software Developers programme and is supported by the Welsh Assembly Government.
Booking for this event is now closed
