PLI’s
Intellectual Property Law Institute is a “must” program for IP lawyers. This program provides a complete analysis of key events in all areas of IP, including updates on cases, legislation and government agency developments that IP lawyers need to know.
A highlight of the program will be a panel of in-house IP counsel from prominent companies discussing the many facets of dealing with IP and related issues in a global context and suggesting some best practices and strategies. Plenary sessions will treat the issues in cloud computing; the problems associated with the large-scale acquisition of patents; the interface between copyright law and contract law; the growing conceptual tension between providers of information technology and the providers of media content; developments in trademark law; trade secret law update; and ethics for the IP lawyer (one full hour credit).
This year’s program will feature four breakout sessions, each with three current topics, that will focus respectively on copyrights, licensing, patents, and trademarks. Among the breakout topics will be a comparative discussion of IP licensing in the U.S., Asia and Europe; a discussion of revisions to the Patent Statute (the America Invents Act) after one year; recent developments in divided infringement and secondary liability for infringement; the implications of license terminations under Section 203 of the Copyright Act and the closely watched
Rosetta Stone v. Google keyword case.
