PÄR OHMAN, jurist
Pär Öhman, själv konstnär, tog 2013 sin juristexamen vid Stockholms universitet. Under studietiden läste Pär specialkurser inom Immaterialrätt där han för egen del valde att fokusera på upphovsrätten. I sin uppsats skrev han om den upphovsrättsliga gränsdragningen mellan inspiration och intrång inom bildkonstens område.
Efter examen började Pär att arbeta vid Bildombudsmannen där han hjälper upphovsmän att skydda och värna om sin upphovsrätt. Pär har ett särskilt intresse för att hjälpa den svagare upphovsmannen i ett samhälle där det är svårt att få betalt och livnära sig på sin verkliga passion.
År 2015 påbörjade Pär sin masterutbildning, European Intellectual Property Law, vid Stockholms universitet. Han beräknar att vara färdig med masterutbildningen till sommaren 2016.
Vid sidan av sitt juridiska arbete har Pär ett stort intresse för konst och IT. Pär skapar själv konst och därav kommer intresset för upphovsrätten.
