Unreal Engine Livestream - Demystifying Copyright & Trademark for Developers - Jan 11 - Live from Epic HQ

  • Why Disney’s intellectual property ignores the public domain laws and they manage to keep ownership of their characters even though these characters are above 80 years old and should now be declared as public property where everybody could use Mickey Mouse for anything without paying Disney a dime…?!
    I know that’s because Disney have a shitton of money and can just buy out judges to protect them, but still… isn’t law for everyone??

  • What exactly is “Foreign Patent Pending” declaration and how/why can that protect a product patented in USA when a company declares that in the physical boxes of the games they sell?

  • Why Concept Artists can keep copyright of the art they produce for video games while programmers, modellers, voice actors, animators, etc, cannot?!

  • What are the differences between “Copyright”, “Patent”, “Trademark”, of an Intellectual Property?
