CHAOS Network are hosting a free masterclass with Lawdit Solicitors Co-Founder Michael Coyle, ‘introduction to intellectual property law,’ on November 27th. It offers the chance to brush up on the basics of copyright and intellectual property law and to hear some top tips on how to keep your work safe.
The masterclass will run from 6.30-7.00 followed by time for questions. There will then be the option to stay for some chatting, networking and tasty refreshments with fellow creatives.
This event is the first in a series of CHAOS Masterclasses aimed at supporting the creative community in Southampton. They will be hosting more classes and events in the coming months on a range of topics local creatives have said are important to them.
