Summary

Many legal experts argue that copyright law is dying, that artists and entertainers need a new approach to intellectual property protection. Patenting Art & Entertainment provides an answer.

This book shows that patent law can protect the methods and processes used to create art and entertainment -- as well as the design and appearance of products. Included are examples in the fields of:

  • painting
  • graphic art
  • music
  • architecture
  • film
  • furniture design
  • and much more

Co-authored by Gregory Aharonian and Richard Stim, the book shows how to:

  • document the creation of your art and entertainment inventions
  • apply for and obtain a design patent
  • get a utility patent
  • do a patent search

Patenting Art & Entertainment provides in-depth (but concise) information of all aspects of this cutting-edge method. It covers how the creation of arts and entertainment became formal sciences, the limitations of copyrights, how the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office handles such applications -- and more.

Press Review

This book explains how to get patents for art and entertainment, in language so clear and enjoyable to read, it can be understood by creators themselves (even if they aren't lawyers).
