ACC Houston IP Practice Group CLE: IP Terms for Non-IP Agreements
June 26, 2024 | 11:30 am - 1:00 pm | Willie G’s Seafood
1.00 Hrs CLE (TX)

This presentation will focus on IP issues typically encountered in structuring and negotiating non-IP agreements (such as consulting, supply/purchase agreements, and professional services agreements), and offer practical drafting suggestions for addressing those issues.

Last March, the Deputy Attorney General of the U.S. Department of Justice, Lisa Monaco, explained: “Corporate crime, as we all know, jeopardizes jobs, savings, our economic security, and increasingly, our national security, Because in today's complex and uncertainty geopolitical environment, corporate crime and national security are overlapping to a degree never seen before, and the department is retooling to meet that challenge. Our National Security Division will be elevating its attention to corporate crime through an infusion of personnel and expertise. Included in the category of corporate crime are intellectual property crimes, like trade secret theft, which often crosses national borders. In this session, we will focus on current U.S. enforcement trends involving international IP crimes, and how companies can succeed when working with the government to prove they have been victimized and deserve the special role the judicial system assigns to victims.




Please join Knobbe Martens and ACC Southern California for this year’s Doubleheader® event. Following the CLE presentations covering diverse hot topics, guests can enjoy a “Summer Soiree” cocktail reception, live music, and dinner.

The panel will discuss common legal issues and risks that arise when reviewing marketing content, and share some best practices around limiting IP and personal rights infringement claims. There will be a focus on how to evaluate risks and when to consider obtaining formal clearances for music, photos, videos, and other common areas of concern (and when not to ask!) that arise when reviewing new advertising collateral and content. Learn how other practitioners approach clearing content, and hear some risk mitigation tips and along with traps for the unwary in-house counsel that supports the marketing team in their efforts.

Globally the fashion and furniture industries are expected to generate over $770 billion and $765 billion, respectively, in 2024. These two giant industries overlap in many ways, including design, innovation, copying, and functionality. And the overlaps prevalent in both industries implicate the same intellectual property laws, namely, design patent, copyright, and trademark or trade dress. The panelists will discuss recent intellectual property trends relating to fashion and furniture designs. The panelists are experts in their respective fields: Scott Shaw, an intellectual property litigator with emphasis in the fashion and furniture industries; Maryn Miller, an in-house fashion law attorney; Shannon King, an in-house furniture and home goods attorney; and, Chris Buccafusco, a Duke intellectual property law professor. The panel moderator is Joni Gaudes, EVP, General Counsel, Hybrid Apparel.

This program includes a review of federal and state trade secret statutes, updates on the FTC‘s recently issued rule respecting noncompetes, and best practices to protect confidential business information going forward.
