FRANCOISE: So we are moving along for the last panel of the day. And this is a treat to have three leading privacy lawyers, chief privacy officers, privacy directors. You guys have different titles, but basically they are in charge of privacy matters at their own companies. And so it's a treat to have all three of you join us in and talk about life as a CPO. And of course thank you to Rudy for having put this panel together. I know that-- RUDY GUYON: ...

SPEAKER 1: Welcome back everyone from the break. This is our final session of the day. Last but certainly not least, we've saved some of the best for the last. I'll be very brief, and we'll just get rolling. But I'm going to introduce Sharon Sandeen, professor Sandeen again. She was with us very early this morning and gave us the trade secret crash course. And she's going to talk with a wonderful panel about best practices at home and abroad regarding ...

LAWRENCE ROSEN: What an excellent introduction to our next talk. Clearly now that we understand what the licenses are available, and what the issues are with those licenses, we need to understand what companies need to do to minimize their risks, and to analyze what they're doing. And so we've brought along two people, let me briefly introduce them. They're welcomed to say what they want about themselves, as well. Daniel Berlin is from Google, and ...

IAN BALLON: So our next panel is Best Practices in a Changing Data Privacy Landscape. And just to have to make sure that these experts on best practices in a changing landscape are kept on their toes, we're trying to usher them in a few moments early, pulling them out of their calls or preparation or whatever else they were doing, just to see how nimble they are in dealing with unplanned events. Great. And we've got four experts in this area for ...

PETER BROWN: Hello, everyone. I hope you had a brisk walk outside. It's still pretty cold out there. It's early winter weather in New York. This afternoon, we're going to hit some of the meat of the topics. And also fortunately, none of these programs have been modified because our speakers had difficulty attending. So we're going to be covering big data, cloud computing, and computer hacking, three very important topics. And really, I think, some ...

DOUGLAS R. NEMEC: So we'll moving into developments in pharmaceutical and biotech patent litigation, a topic that's of interest, I think, to a narrower group of the audience than perhaps some that we've been covering. But to those of us who practice in that area, it's an area of great interest and one where there's really a lot going on in recent months and recent years. I'm happy to turn the program over to Asim Bhansali, who's a partner at Keker ...

BRIAN WINTERFELDT: Great. Thank you so much. Thank you both for having us here today. I think social media is becoming more and more relevant to all of our organizations. And what we're going to be talking about today is how to use social media to build your brand and think about important issues like social media policies and enforcement in the social media space. But before we get started, I'd like to introduce our great panel that we put together ...

Recorded on: Oct. 23, 2012

JOSEPH YANG: Thanks, Mark. Can everybody hear me in the back? Great. OK. Sometimes I would sit in the back, and I couldn't hear the speaker, and it was just one of the most frustrating things. So I want to spend the next hour sharing with you some thoughts about structuring patent transactions. And I put it that way-- "patent transactions"-- because I want to talk not only about licensing, but other forms of transactions. And even within ...

PETER JASZI: In fact, I actually am going to give a presentation today that will at least initially be a little more upbeat than the title suggests, the title being, Can Fair Use Be Fixed, implying, I think, that it needs to be fixed. And I actually would like to throw into doubt or open up for argument the question about whether any fix is required or, indeed, whether any fix is likely to do more good than harm. So let me start by going in at the ...

LATEEF MTIMA: OK. This is like that Bette Davis line, "Fasten your seat belts, this is going to be a bumpy ride," not only because this is DMCA, but, literally, talk about up-to-the-minute developments. Some of the latest key decisions on the DMCA have been happening over the last couple of weeks. And in fact, we had a decision just yesterday. So last night I'm tinkering getting this stuff in. OK. So I'm going to talk about the DMCA. And ...

DANIEL L. REISNER: Morning, everyone. I'm going to start with the first topic of the day, which is claim construction. Judge Holderman, about five years ago, wrote, something has to change when your boss, upon reviewing your work, continues to tell you, year after year, that you are doing your job incorrectly about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time, and your customers continue to tell you their costs are too high. Judge Holderman was speaking about the Federal ...
