Presenter: Lisa Moore, Principal, The Moore Firm, LLC

In this one-hour audio conference, attorney Lisa Moore will share her advice on how to negotiate narrower "rights to publish" clauses so as not to include all future rights, especially e-rights. Participants will also learn:

• What to look for in a contract for each category of electronic product (e.g., textbooks and supplements)
  
• Typical and extreme royalties for ebooks derived from hard copy textbooks
• What to do if your existing contract was signed years ago and it does not have the clauses needed to protect e-rights
