Selected IP/IT Topics in a Digital Environment

Webinar | 02.24.22, 6:00 AM CST - 8:00 AM CST

In Collaboration with the IBJ/IJE

Intellectual property and information technology law has a broad scope and raises numerous concerns for company lawyers. Furthermore, the question often arises whether traditional concepts can still be applied in a digital environment. Our Technology & IP team will address some of the questions raised in the day-to-day practice, such as:

  • Online content: the use of a trademark on social media, negative online reviews or false claims, the unauthorized use of names and images of celebrities, the use of third-party content (hyperlinking, parody and mashups), 
  • Digital presence: domain names and cybersquatting, ransomware, collaborating with influencers, pitfalls in contracts with IT-providers or website builders, 
  • Digital outlook: implementation of the European copyright directives and IP issues of NFTs and the metaverse. 

We will not discuss all legal aspects in detail but will provide pragmatic advice which can be used on a daily basis by company lawyers.

But that does not tell the entire story. The Administration remains committed to exercising a heavy hand in AI, including by banning the U.S. government’s procurement of so-called “woke AI,” intervening in the development of data centers and the export of the AI technology stack, imposing an export fee for certain semiconductors to China, and assuming a stake in a U.S. semiconductor company. State legislatures are also racing to implement their own regulations, particularly around AI’s use in critical areas, such as healthcare, labor and employment, and data privacy. The many sources of regulation raise the specter of a fragmented compliance environment for businesses. This webinar will delve into the Administration’s AI strategy, going beyond the headlines to analyze:...
