This CLE webinar will provide IP counsel and legal advisors with an analysis of the framework for preserving electronically stored information (ESI) and assessing culpable conduct, a review of recent court decisions, and best practices for using litigation holds and preserving ESI.
Description
As technology evolves, so does copyright law. The Internet provides a testing ground for new methods of copyright protection and for novel theories of infringement. Examples include:
- Unprecedented theories of secondary liability that seek to hold banks, credit card companies, advertisers and search engines liable for copyright infringement—even if the underlying infringement is based on user-generated or unrelated third party content.
- Battles over the meaning of “display” under 17 U.S.C. sec. 106 in the Internet context.
- Fair use as a doctrine, an affirmative defense or a substantive limit on the scope of a copyright-holder’s right to exclude.
- Technological solutions to copyright infringement and the rise of digital rights management.
Listen as our authoritative panel of litigators explains the analytical framework for preservation of ESI and assessing culpable conduct, examines recent court decisions and their implications, and offers best practices for litigation holds and preservation of ESI.
