Creative or Copy: A walk around the legal landscape

Due to limited space, only 30 seats are available. For reservation email in advance to Email

The starting point was the observation of a growing market for replicas of classic furniture. We want to question the need of copyrights for design work, ask for ways to protect intellectual property, and discuss possible alternatives. The first evening of the series ©®™ will focus on furniture design.
