Video Game Law in Focus

Video games are a dynamic global medium and a leading avenue through which audiences engage with intellectual property. As technology advances and interactive content becomes increasingly mainstream, virtually every major brand or IP is expected to have a digital presence. Attorneys advising on development, licensing, or brand strategy must understand how legal frameworks influence creative decisions, shape business models, and affect long-term content use.

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the legal landscape of video game development, with a focus on licensing, rights management, and collaborative deal structures. Participants will explore how development and publishing agreements allocate responsibilities, define creative and financial control, and manage risk in both current and evolving projects.

Designed for attorneys with limited to moderate experience in intellectual property, the program provides insight into how video game law intersects with trademark, copyright, and emerging legal challenges in the interactive media sector.

Learning Objectives:

1. Evaluate how game business models affect legal structuring.
2. Identify key provisions in licensing and development agreements.
3. Examine the risks associated with intellectual property ownership, usage, approvals, and user-generated content.
