Counterfeiters have been profiting off of copy-cat goods for centuries. Even with the development of advanced enforcement technologies, businesses and consumers continue to be plagued by counterfeit goods. Today, many counterfeit goods are sold through online marketplaces, often without the knowledge of either the online marketplace or the consumer purchasing the goods. Lawyers must be creative yet practical in providing advice for clients facing trademark infringement and counterfeit issues. Join us for a panel discussion about the practical and legal challenges of policing sales of counterfeit goods in major online retail marketplaces and effective strategies for brand and consumer protection. We will hear from outside and in-house counsel to discuss the problems the industry faces, what enforcement strategies are most effective, and who should carry the burden of ensuring that brand owners and consumers are protected from counterfeit goods

Topics

• Basic legal framework for prosecuting counterfeit sellers in online marketplaces
• Discussion of legal and practical challenges and strategies from brand owners perspective
• General discussion of broader scope of liability and who should shoulder the costs of enforcement, and how the scope of liability corresponds with broader international legal landscape

Best Practices for Addressing Smartphones: in Civil Discovery & Reasonable Attorney-Client Communication Security

Speaker

Larry Lieb
HaystackID, LLC
Strategic Partner with Litigation Services

Larry Lieb is a nationally known subject matter expert in the field of computer forensics and electronic discovery. He has testified in both Federal and State courts on the subjects of computer and smartphone forensics. His practice focuses on maximizing the limited dollars his clients have available for
substantive legal work whilst minimizing wasted expense.
Smartphones, such as iPhones and Android phones, have become ubiquitous in daily life, and can store unique evidence potentially relevant to civil lawsuits of all types. This MCLE will educate students as to the important categories of evidence that can be recovered from smartphones and how these categories can be leveraged in not only a defensive manner but also an offensive manner in civil litigation. Finally, the MCLE will provide reasonable steps one should take to protect attorney-client communications from spying and techniques that can be
applied to unmask an anonymous unfriendly party.

Topics

• Smartphones are basically big file cabinets
• Alternative locations from which smartphone evidence can be recovered
• Examples of smartphone file cabinet drawer contents
• Reasonable attorney-client communication security measures
• Techniques for unmasking blocked caller ids and spoofed calls
• Civil subpoena for carrier call and text message records

Topics:

A discussion on the political climate in Mexico, its impact on relations with the U.S. and on human rights conditions, and considerations for those with business interests in Mexico. With national elections scheduled for July 2018 and a leftist populist candidate in the lead, what will the outcome mean for NAFTA, "the wall" immigration, and the country's human rights situation, which has seen a record-high level of violence and killings of journalists in recent years? What are the considerations for companies doing business in Mexico? We will hear from a Mexico City-based panelist with expertise in human rights, international law and corporate social responsibility and Clara Long, Senior Researcher in Human Rights Watch's U.S. Program, will share insights on policies and practices affecting human rights at the border.
