Join ACC Northeast and Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP for a virtual panel discussion on navigating your next steps after receiving a patent infringement demand letter. Patent infringement demand letters often originate from so-called "patent trolls" on fishing expeditions looking for a quick settlement, or these demand letters can be much more serious.

Finnegan attorneys, Cory Bell and Linda Thayer, along with our in-house panelist, Benjamin Brown, Chief IP Counsel and Assistant General Counsel of Onto Innovation will discuss next steps and considerations after receiving a demand letter and the importance of these considerations and subsequent actions for in-house counsel at both private and public companies.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • How to assess the risk;
  • Should you get a non-infringement opinion from patent counsel?
  • Should it be written or oral?
  • Is an inter partes review (IPR) at the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) appropriate?
  • Do you have sufficient facts for a Declaratory Judgement action?

Register below.  The dial-in address will be sent within 24 hours of the event.

Session I, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. – Reviewing the First Year (Plus) of the DOJ and SEC under the Biden Administration

What's changed, what has remained the same, and where is the Administration’s focus going from here? This panel will discuss with GCs how to prepare for increasingly aggressive enforcement in corporate cases, covering topics including DOJ's new Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative, a focus on antitrust enforcement, the return to strict-Yates Memo requirements for companies seeking cooperation credit, and heightened scrutiny of companies that are subject to corporate criminal monitorships.

Session II, 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. – Best Practices For Conducting Internal Investigations and Responding to Government Subpoenas

Discovering potential corporate misconduct, making the decision to conduct an internal investigation or having to respond to a government subpoena may be most disruptive experiences to a company.  They are almost always unexpected, cause anxiety and stress for corporate management and often times come with unwelcome collateral consequences.   In this session, we will help you develop a plan so you are ready when, or if, the time comes, to implement a strategy that will put the company is the best position to efficiently and effectively conduct internal investigations and deal with government subpoenas.

Session III, 11:30 a.m. t o 12:30 p.m. - The Do’s and Don'ts in a Privacy Incident Investigation

Given the rapidly evolving threat environment, it’s no longer a question of if a company will face a privacy incident, but when. Companies experiencing these incidents are no longer viewed as victims, and may be held responsible if they are perceived as having failed to comply with data protection laws or maintain adequate security. Once a privacy incident occurs, in-house counsel will be dealing with a  variety of different actors – outside counsel, computer forensic investigators, regulators, law enforcement authorities, the press, public relations experts, and plaintiff’s counsel, to name a few – and need to know how to navigate these risks and manage communications. This presentation will help identify the major do’s and don’ts to observe as in-house counsel navigate this difficult landscape.

Keynote Luncheon 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. – Unconventional Responses to Unique Catastrophes: Tailoring the Law to Meet the Challenges

Ken Feinberg will focus on unique alternatives to the conventional legal system after certain horrors like the 9/11 attacks, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, the Boston Marathon bombings, etc.

Houston, We Have A Problem: A Case Study on Defending a Concurrent Federal Criminal and Civil Investigation

Please join Carlton Fields attorneys Adam Schwartz and Erin Hoyle as they discuss how a corporation endured a search and seizure of documents and electronic information from the company's headquarters by more than 50 law enforcement agents. The search and seizure was initiated and led by National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Office of Inspector General (NASA OIG) agents. This CLE program also will discuss the aftermath of the search, the government's issuance of a Grand Jury Subpoena, and the government's subsequent criminal and civil investigations. The panelist will describe the strategy involved in various presentations made to the government over an 18-month period, which ultimately forced the government to drop its investigation and not bring criminal charges or a civil False Claims Act lawsuit against the company and its founder and CEO.
