Course Description
Copyright is a valuable tool for authors of creative works. A copyright protects the work from being stolen or used without authorization. Trademark laws protect owners from losing income and sales due to confusingly similar marks. When your business holds trademark protection, customers can more easily find your business and the goods and services you offer. Intellectual property law prevents a creator’s work from being reproduced, sold, or used by unauthorized parties. As such, copyright fosters intellectual creativity by allowing a creator to work freely, gain recognition for their work, and protect their livelihood.

You will learn what copyright is, how long it lasts, and how it impacts the use of others' work.
