Intellectual property and technology law firm, Scott & Scott, LLP, sponsors upcoming CLE webinar entitled “When Software Publishers Sue” on June 25th. Managing Partner, Robert J. Scott, will share his software dispute expertise in a free CLE* presentation.
Software audits have become routine as publishers have proven that compliance claims get customers' attention more than sales proposals. Most software license disputes are settled out of court. What happens when you cannot negotiate a settlement with the publisher or one of its trade associations (BSA | The Software Alliance, The Software & Information Industry Association) because the settlement demands are too high?
On Wednesday, June 25th, software attorney Robert J. Scott, Managing Partner, of intellectual property and technology law firm, Scott & Scott, LLP, presents a free webinar “When Software Publishers Sue” that will include real world examples of what happens when software audits wind up in court.
Attendees will learn the following issues:
- Use of declaratory judgment actions
- Venue rules for copyright cases
- Choice of law issues
- Calculation of damages under copyright laws
- Individual liability for copyright infringement
- Burden shifting in copyright cases
- Electronic discovery issues
