Webinar: NFT & Copyright

This program is designed to give you a better understanding of what NFTs and blockchain technology are and how they relate to copyrights. Presenters will begin with a primer on all three concepts: blockchain, non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and copyrights. Discussion will expand into case studies involving copyrights, artificial intelligence (AI) and NFTs. Audience members will obtain a better understanding of copyright opportunities for visual artists in the Web-3 era and examine how this interplay will be relevant to business going forward, including recommendations for creators, buyers, sellers and lawyers.

Presented by the International Law Section & Intellectual Property Law Section
