The session, titled “Protecting Your Client’s IP,” will outline the key IP rights and risks you should be mindful of; examine the necessary steps to protect valuable corporate assets on a national and global scale, and how not to infringe on the intellectual property rights of others; explore how to prevent employees and independent contractors from misappropriating and using company confidential information and what remedial steps to take; learn to spot and respond to common issues in advertising, trademarks, licensing, and other areas so that you leave empowered to respond accordingly; and discuss the ins and outs of nondisclosure agreements and ownership provisions in contracts, and receive a few samples to take back to the office.
