Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Mountain West
  • 9:00 am Developments in Patent Litigation in 2021: 
    • Explore trends in patent litigation, including recent statistics showing an uptick in patent litigation. We will also discuss several hot button issues such as the ongoing venue battles between Judge Albright in the Western District of Texas and the Federal Circuit, patentability under section 101, and the question of inventorship in the age of artificial intelligence. Then we will touch upon the benefits of using the U.S. International Trade Commission (or “ITC”), a lesser-known quasi-judicial agency that adjudicates IP disputes and offers effective remedies at a much faster pace than our over-burdened federal court system.
    • Presentation led by Teague Donahey, Partner Holland & Hart
  • 10:00 am Best Practices for Dealing With Increasing Costs of a Cyber Event
    • Lawyers and insurance agents are busier than ever dealing with cyber events, hacks and data breaches. Why are such attacks increasing despite all the systemic countermeasures, consultants, and classes? What are some of the best practices to think defensively and prepare financially and legally for such an event?
    • Presentation led by Brad Frazer, Partner Hawley Troxell and Jordan Heller, Deputy General Counsel, St. Luke's Health System
  • 11:00 am Ethics for Corporate Counsel
