The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.
Corporate litigation from Patent Assertion Entities (PAEs, sometimes called âpatent trollsâ) continues to increase across all industries, resulting in a major drain on company time and money. As stewards of the company's in-house legal resources, it is becoming increasingly important for corporate counsel to remain vigilant of patent troll activity to protect the organization. This need will continue to grow in importance as the economic environment becomes increasingly uncertain. During this session, we will explore the latest patterns in patent troll activity and effective mitigation strategies.

Data is an asset similar to intellectual property, isn't it? Of course it is. Data is valuable, and can and should be exploited, which is usually done through a data license. Data licenses are similar to other types of IP licenses, but data licenses often present unique issues that must be addressed, including data ownership and use, as well as the treatment of the original data set, data derived from the original data set, and usage data. Data licenses can and should materially circumscribe the ways in which data sets may be exploited by others. This session will provide an overview of the issues involved when negotiating data licenses.

In the beginning of this year 2023, the China trademark office, now known as âChina National Intellectual Property Administration,â released a draft of amendments on China trademark law which provide some drastic changes targeted at solving bad-faith filing issues. In addition, in the past 2 or 3 years after the implementation of the current Trademark Law (2019) by adding Article 4 prohibiting bad-faith filings with no real intent to use, not only trademark squatters but also many brand owners have received refusals based on Article 4 trademark applications, in particular the brand owners' defensive filing program. Considering such new practices may cause some frustration to brand owners in their brand protection in China, the presentation will share thoughts about the recent changes in practice and potential legislative changes and offer suggestions on the best practices around Article 4 refusals in China.
