ABOUT THIS PROGRAM

“The male rabbit likes to hop and leap, while the female prefers to sit still. But in times of danger, when the two rabbits scurry by, who can tell male from female?”
In the West, St. Christopher carried the sacred twin who stood for hope and creation. While, the evil twin is natured with terror and destruction. Like two sides of the same coin, for designers, inevitable to use others’ works or style for reference but how to legally identify reference or copy has become a hot topic in the design industry. With practical cases and interactive discussion, the speech led by Allen Wang, professional copyright lawyer, will share insight into the relationship between reference and plagiarism.
