The key is to use the legal system to protect innovation
Throughout her career, Madeleine has focused on the need to encourage and protect innovation. Her interests have always been focused on the visual aspect and its impact on the way artists and lawyers communicate. She believes that most lawyers have little experience with artists' processes/needs; and most artists cannot convey what they need in a language that makes sense to lawyers.
