JOHN DU: All right, thank you. We are going to move to the next panel, which is antitrust. We have talked about how to do due diligence in the emerging markets as well as on negotiations. And antitrust is one of the primary concerns in structuring a deal. So today, we have three panelists here. And all of them are M&A lawyers with a focus, for Janet and Mariana, in antitrust. So today, I'm going to introduce the speakers first. And then we'll ...

ANNE HIARING HOCKING: It's my pleasure to introduce Richard Kirkpatrick as our next speaker. And I'd like to thank each individual who's coming here today, giving up their time with no compensation, with very busy schedules, to prepare these materials and provide these talks. Richard has lots of good things that you could say about him. And some of them are in the book. So I commend that to you because, in his typically humble fashion, he has asked ...

ANNE HIARING HOCKING: I can't thank Christopher George enough for taking time out of his extremely busy day to come up here all the way from Santa Clara, into the fog and through the traffic to give his, really, an estimable perspective on what global filing strategies look like. Christopher is the managing counsel for trademarks and brands at Intel. He graduated from Emory School of Law, and he came to Intel with a very successful career in private ...

ANNE HOCKING: Welcome back to The Fundamentals of Trademark Law in the Global Marketplace. It's 3:30. We're finishing up the day with not inconsiderable task of approaching not only alternatives to litigation but presenting the real hot topics that are going on in the trademark world right now. We are incredibly fortunate to have not one but two excellent speakers. Vineeta Gajwani is senior counsel for intellectual property at Electronic Arts. She ...

ANNE HIARING HOCKING: Thank you so much, and thank you for attending-- those of you in person and those of you listening to our program by webinar. It's absolutely personally my favorite thing to do. I don't think there's anything more exciting in the world than trademark law. I know you think I'm nuts, but it enlivens my experience in the commercial marketplace. I can't go anywhere without seeing a product that I haven't either had something to ...

A. THOMPSON BAYLISS: So name that judge who said the following, "I'm just going to confess out loud that I have reached the point in my career of what I will call 'disclosure fatigue.' That is the struggle that the court goes through to try to figure out what information, about a target's financial advisor's analysis, needs to be disclosed to stockholders." Well everybody's voting. I'll just ask the panel, who here suffers from disclosure ...

ANNE HIARING HOCKING: Good afternoon. Welcome back to Fundamentals of Trademark Law in the Global Marketplace. We're going to continue on now with our afternoon sessions, the last two segments of the program. You're going to hear from Vijay Toke, a real privilege to have him with us. Completely [INAUDIBLE] to the fact that he is a partner in my firm, he is outstanding litigator in his field. He serves on the amicus brief committee of the United States ...

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: We begin with what I think is the two best presenters on the topic of basic principles of copyright law. They have worked very hard to present for you a way by which you can be meaningfully introduced to the substantive topic, so that when you finish this time with them together, you will have a much greater depth of understanding. Even if you are a copyright expert, they will run you over the cavalettis, making you think again ...

Recorded on: Jul. 10, 2013

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: Our next presentation is one that is also a hard slot to fill for the reason that some would say the fair use doctrine is a circumstance when the minnow has swallowed the whale. Fair use began a long time ago, and Dale will tell you more. I will stay away from it, even though I'm itching to do that because it's such an interesting topic. But when you have someone who is as generous with their time as Dale is being today, I do ...

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: Thank you. If you see Lenny, could you tell him that we're eager for his participation? Welcome. Everything today has been a warm up act for this, the last panel, the important panel where we take all the bits and pieces that we put together, and now all we actually take it on the road and we see what happens when we make all the moving parts move. So this is the part where we talk about the hottest issue we can find, and we ...

KATHERINE C. SPELMAN: Welcome back to the second part of our remarkable day of Copyright in the Data Era. I hope you're enjoying a satisfying day. We are getting bigger and better in our vocabulary about copyright and conjugating in the copyright verbs. This that you are going to see now is an exciting hand gallop through the many, many places of copyright litigation this year. Our two speakers are specifically selected for their enormous appetite ...

Recorded on: Jul. 10, 2013

KATE: Welcome back to the second of our calisthenic exercises as we learn the language of copyright. I'm sure you all feel like you have your seat belts fastened and you now have a good understanding of copyrights in the most fundamental way. Of course, we all know that the right of copyright is the right to exclude, and the right to exclude includes litigation. And we have today to run us through the issues of enforcing copyrights, enforcing that ...

MARTA: And that's it. I took a smidge longer than I wanted. But I'm going to turn it over to our two panelists. Jane Gunnison is a partner from Ropes and Gray in New York. She's been practicing patent law in the areas I already mentioned in the biotech life sciences space for about 20 years now. And she's had a lot of experience in all different areas of technology and will be bringing that viewpoint. Sitting next to her is Chris Tobin, who's a partner ...

Recorded on: Jul. 2, 2013

MARTA GROSS: All right, welcome back, everyone. And so now we're going to move into the next module of the three modules that we're doing today. As I mentioned to you this morning when I was giving the overview, this is the module where what we're planning on doing is I'm going to give probably a 15 or 20 minute background on what I call patent landscape. Which is going to go into some scenarios where you might have your patent attorney do some analysis ...

Recorded on: Jul. 2, 2013

MARTA GROSS: OK, welcome back everyone. It's 3:15. And before we get started and I introduce our next panel, I just would like to remind everyone and ask that you fill out the evaluations. We really do look at them. I look at them. Sima looks at them. The panelists look at them. We're interested in hearing what you want to hear more about, the details and all that. Again, this is a lot of subject matter we're trying to cover in one day. And we recognize ...

CLIFFORD E. KIRSCH: All right, everyone. Welcome back. Hope you had a nice lunch. We're going to turn now from a broker-dealer's interaction and dealings with regulators and getting past the registration membership process to the broker-dealer's relationship and obligation under the framework applying to its customers. So that's what we're going to focus on in the next hour. And I'm very pleased to welcome and welcome back to this program my colleague, ...

Recorded on: Jun. 28, 2013

CLIFFORD E. KIRSCH: All righty. In this next panel, what we're looking to do is lay out for you the rules that apply to supervisory programs, what requires a broker dealer to supervise. Supervise its business, supervise its representatives. And the rules applying to broker dealers compliance programs. Broker dealers are required to establish and maintain compliance programs, which are separate and distinct from the supervisory obligations. And we ...

Recorded on: Jun. 28, 2013

CLIFFORD KIRSCH: All right, thanks. And thanks for your attention throughout the day. It's been a good program, the questions we've been getting, and your attentiveness. So thanks very much. And we end the day with a panel looking at record keeping, exams, and financial responsibility, topics that we may have touched on a little bit throughout the day, but just touched on. And we wanted to have a panel because each of the topics are so important. ...

Recorded on: Jun. 26, 2013

RICHARD MORVILLO: OK, welcome back from lunch. As people come on back, we will start. And I have the pleasure of introducing the next moderator for you, and he in turn will introduce his panelists. Seated to Nancy's right is John Savarese. John is a litigation partner at Wachtell Lipton. He has done a number of important things during his career, starting with clerking on the Supreme Court, working in the United States Attorney's office, being Chief ...

NANCY KESTENBAUM: Thanks, Rich. Well, it's my great pleasure to introduce the moderator of our first panel, Steve Peikin. I just realized Steve and I go back 20 years since we first began working together as a baby lawyers. And Steve's gone on to do great things since that time. He's now deputy managing partner of Sullivan and Cromwell's criminal defense and investigations group. Steve's practice focuses there on white collar criminal defense, regulatory ...

RICHARD MORVILLO: OK, welcome back. Thank you. I have the distinct honor of introducing most of my panel. The guy on the right there is related to me, so I don't know if it's such an honor. But let me start on the other end with Mike Delikat. Mike has become a fixture at these programs over the course of the last few years. Nancy and I had the foresight to ask him to join us, even before the whistleblower rules were published by the SEC. But Michael ...

THEODORE O. ROGERS: All right. We're ready to start again. Thank you for being timely in getting back by 1:45. Our next session is on retaliation claims. This is my favorite song lyric-- and it's Anne's suggestion-- "every breath you take, I'll be watching you." Because, as we'll discuss a little bit more, people who have made complaints and stay in the workforce probably do have the point of view that there are people out there with that ...

Recorded on: Jun. 21, 2013

THEODORE O. ROGERS, JR: I'd clink a glass but it doesn't work on the paper cup, so we'll just-- whoops there it goes. Anne's going to introduce our next distinguished panel, but I did want to note that one of the challenges of holding this within the 10 days at the end of the Supreme Court's term is that there can be breaking news. And there's a decision that was issued this morning by the Supreme Court, which our panelists are going to describing ...

Recorded on: Jun. 14, 2013

JOHN FELLAS: Well, let me tell you, breaking news, the Supreme Court issued an opinion today in an arbitration case, the Oxford Health Care case, a class arbitration case. It's what's called a clause construction case. This is a case where the arbitrator is empowered or not empowered to construe a clause to determine whether it authorizes class arbitration. In a case a few years back called Stout-Nielsen where the chairman of the tribunal happened ...

LAURIE GILBERTSON: Introduce to you the chair of today's program, John Fellas. John is a partner in the New York office of Hughes Hubbard & Reed. He's co-chair of the arbitration practice and co-chair of the international practice of that firm, practicing in the fields of international litigation and arbitration.
