The Hindu Lit For Life Unplugged: Author and lawyer Xerxes Ranina discusses his book Who Owns What? and the legal rights of creators
Intellectual Property lawyer Xerxes Ranina discusses his new book, 'Who Owns What?', which aims to simplify complex legal concepts for creators. The book addresses common questions regarding copyright, trademarks, and patents in the creative industries.
Why it matters
As the creator economy grows, accessible legal knowledge is essential for artists and professionals to protect their intellectual property rights.
For creators, the question of who owns a script, a song, a photograph, or an idea can become complicated long before the work reaches an audience. Intellectual Property (IP) lawyer and author Xerxes Ranina, however, believes the law need not be intimidating. His new book, Who Owns What?, published by HarperCollins India, grew out of the questions he encountered from clients, friends and people working in the creative industries.
At The Hindu Lit for Life Unplugged presented by Prakriti Foundation on September 5, Xerxes will be in conversation with Ranvir Shah, founder, trustee, Prakriti Foundation, where they will discuss the book while exploring the everyday legal questions that creators often grapple with — from copyright contracts to what happens when someone uses their work without permission.
