Quilters are so used to sharing - fabric, thread, rulers, and all kinds of other things - that sometimes it doesn't occur to us that sharing a pattern might lead to trouble.
I'm sure that many of us have made quilts for a charity auction. If you used a pattern to make the quilt, do you know whether it was legal for you to sell the quilt - even for charity?
We probably all know not to copy pages from a book and sell them without permission from the author. But do you know what the circumstances are that you might need permission from the designer of a quilt or pattern maker in order to use their design other than to make a quilt and use it yourself?
Frankly, before I started my business, I hadn't thought about any of those things.
Maybe I got lucky; or maybe I did something I shouldn't have. I guess I'll find out this Thursday when Sylvia Landman Rasmussen is our guest for our Eavesdrop on a Telephone Conversation.
Sylvia is a quilter, business owner and copyright expert. And she will be available for us to pick her brain about copyrights and quilts - so we can sleep at night, knowing that the quilt we made for charity is perfectly legal to sell or raffle away.
In this call, you will learn: - describing what a copyright is
- what kind of protections a copyright affords the owner
- whether we should register our works and how to go about registering for a copyright
- what our protection is if we don't register
- how we know whether a quilt pattern is copyright protected
- if a pattern is protected how can we use it
- whether there are any limits to copyright protection
- and much more
