When you create a piece of artwork, you may automatically have intellectual property rights to certain design elements. Attorney and jeweler, Sarah Feingold, will provide you with helpful information concerning the types of intellectual property protection available to artists, how to obtain this protection and the rights you should take advantage of even if you choose to take no formal action to protect your intellectual property.
The seminar is around an hour long. Each attendee may receive a handout and information on obtaining U.S. copyright registration for a group of artwork.

Testimonials:
"Dear Sarah,
I want to thank you for presenting your lecture: Legal and Copyright Issues for Artists to the staff of
Studio 34 Creative Arts Center.
This is a timely topic, and rather complex to those of us without legal background. You organized a lot of information and presented it very clearly. Again, thank you for providing this needed
information to our staff, and doing so in such a clear, concise and informative way."
~ Marilynne Lipshutz
"I wanted to THANK YOU so sincerely for your excellent presentation to
our young people! It was clear how much time and effort you put into
it and I loved the songs. I was just telling someone about that the
other day and I can honestly say that I personally learned a lot. Other artists said the same. THANKS again, Sarah! I admire you and all
you do as an artist-lawyer!"
~ Kristin Rapp, ArtPeace
"I consider it an honor and a special privilege to know and to have worked with Sarah Feingold.
She is an outstanding person, always concerned and caring about other peoples needs. She is a
brilliant attorney and the kind of person everybody would like to know because, she, in my opinion,
sets an example of how all of us on this planet should treat each other; with kindness, respect, patience, intelligence,
strength, and honor. I have learned a lot from her both in conversation and from her lectures and do not have enough
positive adjectives to describe her."
~ William Manfredi, FIT
"On behalf of the Delaware Valley Bead Society, I want to thank you for your informative and highly entertaining program on copyright for artists and artisans. People came to the seminar expecting to learn how to protect their creative output from infringement, and you more than exceeded their expectations. What they didn’t anticipate was the delightful way you presented the material. It was a rare pleasure to hear you cover complex concepts in a way that was not only understandable but amusing as well. The seminar outline you provided was very helpful and we have gotten very positive feedback from the participants who bought the booklet and CD. Many, many thanks for your generosity of time and talent." ~ Karen Cummins, Delaware Valley Bead Society
