Own Your Game: Intellectual Property for Game Creators

Intellectual property is often overlooked in game development—until it’s too late. Whether it’s receiving a legal notice for using protected content, discovering that your game assets have been copied, or realizing your original ideas were never properly secured, understanding IP can be the difference between protecting your work and losing control of it. Join a speaker from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on October 29th at Savvy headquarters in Riyadh for an essential masterclass exploring the role of intellectual property in the games industry. Through practical examples and real-world cases, the session will uncover the legal and business foundations that every developer, artist, designer, and studio founder should understand. Participants will learn how copyrights, trademarks, patents, and licensing impact game creation, publishing, and commercialization, while gaining valuable insights into protecting their games, avoiding costly infringement risks, and safeguarding creative assets in an increasingly competitive global markets.
