MAD: The Joys and Heartaches of Co-Authorship
Saturday,
June 21, 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
Las Vegas Room
Presenter:
Stephen E. Gillen, Authoring Attorney, Greenebaum Doll & McDonald
No one ever
sets out to co-author a work with their first enemy, but when
a collaboration goes bad that's where you can end up if you haven't
planned for that possibility. Gillen, an authoring attorney, long-time
TAA member, and member of the TAA Council, knows all too well
that disputes among co-authors are more likely to result in Mutually
Assured Destruction ("MAD") than in a successful outcome for one
author or the other. He explains what can go wrong, and provides
tips for how authors can plan for the best even while preparing
for the worst.
