                ANNOUNCEMENT AND INVITATION

   2003 UMUC Intellectual Property in Academia Workshop Series
       http://www.umuc.edu/distance/odell/cip/ipa/

The Center for Intellectual Property at the University of Maryland
University College is excited to once again host its annual asynchronous
online workshop series that has proven to be of interest to faculty,
university counsel, librarians, instructional design and information
professionals! Each workshop will last approximately two weeks, providing
the participants with an in-depth understanding of core intellectual
property issues facing higher education.

IMPLEMENTING THE T.E.A.C.H. Act
October 22 - November 5, 2003
Moderated by Kenneth Crews
Virtual Intellectual Property Scholar, CIP-UMUC, Associate Dean &
Director, Copyright Management Center, Indiana University-Purdue
University Indianapolis (IUPUI)

The Copyright Act of 1976 was recently amended to accommodate digital
educational transmissions.  The new amendment, Technology, Education and
Copyright Harmonization Act of 2002 (TEACH Act), was signed into law in
November, 2002 and educational institutions are grappling with whether
and how to take advantage of this new law.

BALANCING ACTS: Fair Use and Digital Content 
November 10 - November 21, 2003
Moderated by Georgia Harper
Manager, Intellectual Property Section of The University of Texas System
Office of General Counsel

This workshop will introduce you to the counterpart of copyright: the
lawful right to use copyright protected works owned by others without
their permission. The confusion faced when determining the parameters of
U.S. Copyright Act fair use provisions is often compounded when facing
digital content. Where does the TEACH act end and fair use begin? Or
should it be stated in reverse? Gain an in-depth understanding of the fair
use issues facing higher education today and learn how to address them in
the company of an expert. *

Property and Copyright in the Digital Environment, University of
