Join AIGA Arizona and Intellectual Property specialist Tony Marino for a focused look at IP as it relates to modern creative work. Learn the distinctions between copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and trademarks, and discuss examples and scenarios that affect us and our clients.

Attendees will come away with new clarity on the legal terminology of creative work, as well as new best practices for working with creative teams, clients, and attorneys.
