OBA Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law PROGRAM
Original Program Date: December 16, 2021

This summer, the Supreme Court of Canada released the York University v. Access Copyright decision, which addresses how copyright collectives administer traditional copyrights in Canada. Learn about the impacts of the decision and whether it changes the way we look at copyright collectives and licensing, educational institutions and copying of protected materials, and the fair dealing defence and its application.  Join our esteemed panel of speakers as they analyze and provide their insights on the decision and what it means (and doesn’t mean) for copyright law and collective rights administration in Canada.

Register now for this program to gain a better understanding of how the Access Copyright decision will affect copyright tariffs, non-exclusive licensees and rights assignment, and whether fair deadline guidelines can, in fact, be fair – and what steps may be taken to make them so.
