IP and Contracts 101

Join specialist games lawyer Anna Poulter-Jones for a practical seminar that will run through the intellectual property and contractual fundamentals that every tabletop games business needs to understand, whether you are starting up or scaling up.

This session will cover the key IP rights and quirks that underpin tabletop games (from copyright, to trade marks, to design rights, and why you can't protect game mechanics), how to protect your brand and game assets, and common pitfalls in ownership and licensing.

We will also walk through some contractual essentials that structure any deal in the industry, large or small, highlighting with real examples the clauses that matter most and the risks to watch out for. 

The value of tabletop games businesses resides in their IP and how they wield it, so being aware of your IP rights, how best to protect them and how to navigate the world of contractual negotiations is crucial to the growth and success of businesses in this industry.
