During the Copyright Society of the USA’s 2020 Midwinter Meeting, Jackson Walker partner Shannon Zmud Teicher will lead a discussion on recent decisions, new Copyright Office rules and practices, and tips for handling copyright applications and infringement cases.

Featuring panel speakers Erik Bertin, Deputy Director for Registration Policy and Practice at the U.S. Copyright Office, and Moses & Singer partner Toby M.J. Butterfield, the session will include topics such as:

• “special handling” and pre-registration issues in a post-Fourth Estate world;
• the Copyright Office’s new “group registration for unpublished works” procedure;
• recent case law affecting ex post facto work made for hire agreements;
• and ownership and registration of nontraditional works (i.e., website content and software output).
