1032: Protecting Ideas: Intellectual Property in the Casino Industry

Intellectual property law is the new hot topic in the gaming industry. Patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and right of publicity are all subcomponents of intellectual property law. This session looks beyond the already well-documented patent battles among gaming equipment manufacturers and into current and cutting edge issues faced by casino operators. Panelists will share ideas and experiences about intellectual property in the gaming industry.
