Kernochan Center Annual Horace S. Manges Lecture: Performers’ Rights

The Kernochan Center's Annual Horace S. Manges Lecture, "Performers’ Rights: International, UK and US Law," delivered by Rt Hon Lord Justice Richard Arnold, Judge of the Court of Appeal of England and Wales.   

Performers' rights are the Cinderella of intellectual property law, still impoverished and awaiting proper recognition.  This seems surprising in a country with an entertainment industry as large and vibrant as that of the USA. This lecture will  examine the international legal framework concerning performers' rights, outline the extensive UK regime and contrast the lack of provision in current US law.

Registration required for members of the public.
