Trade secret protection in 2020 requires a new approach to legal and business strategies. In this roundtable webinar, a panel of Jones Day partners will address the employment, trade secret, and cybersecurity issues raised by the recent changes in how businesses operate and access trade secret information in 2020. Working remotely has transformed the way in which we access, use, store, and transfer proprietary business information. Protecting these valuable assets, while allowing key personnel to access and monetize them, is a challenge under "normal" circumstances. In the remote working environment, these challenges become even greater.
All who register are welcome to join us for an interactive discussion during which our panel will address best practices for:
Securing trade secrets from unauthorized access and cyberattack;
Onboarding new employees and dealing with departing employees in the remote working environment; and
Addressing a trade secrets breach.
We hope you will join our global team for this informative roundtable webinar.
Public health experts believe that the widespread use of mobile disease contact tracing applications could greatly help control the spread of the coronavirus. These apps will notify users if and when they have been in close contact with other users who report they have contracted COVID-19. Such knowledge will enable users to take appropriate, precautionary steps to stop the spread of the virus, such as testing for the disease and self-isolation.
Contact tracing apps require the collection and use of personal information by mobile devices. As a result, key members of Congress have introduced legislation that would provide privacy protections to users. Senator Roger Wicker (R-MS), Chairman of the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, introduced the COVID-19 Consumer Data Protection Act, which would, among other things, require covered entities to obtain user consent for the collection and use of data, as well as place restrictions on how such entities can use such data.
Join ML Strategies along with senior staff of the Senate Commerce Committee who are spearheading Chairman Wicker’s efforts on the bill.
Topics will include:
How does the COVID-19 Consumer Data Protection Act differ from other contact tracing privacy bills that have been introduced?
What is the scope and applicability of the bill?
How would the bill’s provisions affect other state and federal laws?
What are the prospects going forward with COVID-related privacy legislation?
The global pandemic has caused many businesses to apply for grants and/or loans or accept and retain federal funds under the CARES Act and other federally funded relief programs. We expect civil and criminal investigations related to these COVID-19 stimulus programs to increase considerably in the coming months and years.Mintz’s COVID-19 Compliance & Enforcement Defense Task Force will review how to avoid risk and how to address enforcement when it arises.
Topics will include:
The benefits of ongoing review of compliance with terms and conditions, attestation statements, and evolving agency guidance
Avoiding risk in deploying, tracking, and managing funds
Identifying and managing employee concerns or complaints
An overview of enforcement mechanisms and enforcement actions taken to date
Predictions regarding future enforcement activity, including whether and how enforcement may look different, depending on the outcome of the November 2020 election
