Abstract:

With the advent of new technology, we can quickly combine video, text, sound, and other media in exciting ways. But because of intellectual property and other laws, there are limits to what we can do. In developing multimedia products, we need to be careful not to infringe on existing rights and patents. We can do this by discovering and documenting the origins of each work used in our products to ensure that we hold the appropriate rights. When we use works that weren't created by our company, we need to work with company counsel and contract negotiators to ensure that all requisite licenses, releases, and other documents are obtained.
