Address

Register

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing how businesses, consumers, and public infrastructure interact by connecting everyday electronic devices to the Internet and to one another. This phenomenon is no longer restricted to a business context, as more and more people see the advantages of IoT products for their own personal use.


While IoT certainly has a promising future, there are significant risks and pitfalls to take into consideration. This presentation addresses them from both a legal and cybersecurity perspective.


In particular, the Crowell & Moring speakers will address questions regarding product liability, the allocation of responsibilities with regard to the data collected by IoT devices, data ownership, and the labor and employment implications of the professional use of IoT devices.


Cylance, a US-based company specialized in AI/ML for cybersecurity, on the other hand, will focus on the value potential and how different businesses and organizations deal with IoT: how they use it, how it can impact them, how it can affect their internal and external exposure. Cylance will also cover the most common cybersecurity risks related to IoT devices and give practical advice on how to mitigate them.


The open table will be provided in English.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
