Licensing Track Workshop: Understanding the Implied License Doctrine

Implied licenses exist when there is no explicit copyright license but an intent to create a license can be inferred from the parties’ conduct (for example, when public webpage content is downloaded and displayed in a browser). Participants will learn about this doctrine and apply that knowledge to hypothetical scenarios involving libraries and their patrons. This session is designed for participants who are already familiar with the basics of copyright law, including fair use, the rights of the copyright holder, and licensing. Participants who are new to copyright are encouraged to review these concepts in advance of the session.
