All about murals—documentation, preservation, artists’ rights, and more!

Dave Ratner will speak at "Protecting Visual Storytelling: Strategies for Mural Documentation and Preservation", an online seminar hosted by the California Preservation Foundation.

During the program, you will learn about: 

📌 the existing historic preservation frameworks for murals

📌 local mural programs and ordinances that help to document and fund the maintenance of community murals and recognize key stakeholders

📌 legal frameworks that exist outside of historic preservation that relate to murals and artists’ rights

📌 documentation strategies that utilize innovative technologies to record and provide interpretive context

As a creative business owner, your trademark is one of your most valuable assets. So it makes sense to protect it! 

Did you know? Failure to police improper use of your mark by other parties could result in a loss of rights!

So if you need help protecting your trademark and business, make sure to reach out to the trademark law experts at Creative Law Network.

For any creative business, the answer is most frequently...

YES.  Swipe to find out how #trademarks could apply to you.

If you are a musician... Your artist/band name is a trademark and should be protected.

If you are an influencer... who uses a pseudonym, that name is a trademark and should be protected.

If you are a visual artist, photographer, videographer, author or publisher... and you operate under a business or trade name, that name is a trademark and should be protected.

If you are a creative business owner... every business has a trademark and that trademark should be protected.

If you are selling products or services under a brand name, your brand name is a trademark and should be protected.

Bonus tip: Did you know? If someone else is using your trademark, you’re required to defend it.

P.S. Make sure to give us a follow 👀 because we're sharing the ultimate checklist on trademarks for creatives soon! 😎✨

Yes, but we must consider the opportunities while being aware of the risks.
