The 'Creative Industries' broadly includes those involved in film, music and the performing arts. The forum will address key issues such maximizing opportunities in a digital environment, business models, education and awareness raising, and challenges such as file-sharing and piracy.
To co-incide with the launch of the Creative Industries Forum on Intellectual Property, Creative London is announcing a free IP service to ensure London's creative community actually profits from its innovations. Called 'Own It', the service will deliver seminars and advice - both onlin and face-to-face - to ensure creatives understand how to exploit and protect their ideas.
Working with 16 major industry organizations, the service is the first major initiative from Creative London, which was established by the Mayor's London Development Agency to support the creative industries.
