Intellectual Property Colloquium

In this edition of the IP Colloquium, we present a conversation with the chief legal officers from three of the major video game studios: Steve Bene of Electronic Arts; Seth Krauss of Take-Two; and Chris Walther of Activision Blizzard. Among other things, we’ll talk about the complicated relationship between game manufacturers and the big three console producers; and we’ll think about the licensing arrangements under which video game companies make games based on intellectual property like the Harry Potter characters or the names and likenesses of NFL players. Closet video game fan and UCLA Law Professor Doug Lichtman hosts.
