The first scenario will include a negotiation involving a software company and a vendor. The second scenario is similar but includes a product company and a vendor.

Business leaders in the C-suite are awakening to the fact that aligning business strategy with intellectual property assets is critical to success. IP asset alignment is central to any strategic plan or initiative. In this session, faculty will role-play typical scenarios in which four strategic initiatives are issued from the C-suite (i.e.., competing in a technologically hot area, recovery from genericide with a withering brand, entry into a heavily patented market, treading through copyright issues for a content critical business model). Faculty will discuss how IP assets are part of the issue at hand, what legal options are available in order to implement the initiatives, and how the IP assets need to be positioned to ensure success.

Rulings on attorney-client privilege and the work product doctrine occur daily in the federal and state courts. New law is continually being made on the scope of these protections for companies and their counsel in areas like internal investigations, the legal vs. business advice distinction, the crime-fraud and fiduciary exceptions, subject-matter and at issue waiver, the common interest and joint client exceptions, global privilege issues and intra-law firm privilege. In a Jeopardy! format, this interactive presentation will examine the latest developments in privilege law as well as the professional ethics rules governing confidentiality (i.e., ABA Model Rules 1.6 and 1.13) — including cases in which ACC has weighed in as amicus — and recommend best practices to preserve the attorney-client privilege and the confidentiality of work product.
