Counsel Anne Elise Herold Li will be speaking at the 2017 BIO International Convention on a panel titled, "Keeping it Under Wraps: Protecting, Asserting and Creating Value from Your Trade Secret" that will begin at 1:45 pm on June 21. 


The 2017 BIO International Convention will take place June 19 - 22 at the San Diego Convention Center. 


Trade secrets are valuable IP assets and can create significant revenue opportunities for companies. Their importance in today’s global economy is growing in an age of digitalization and data sharing. So much so that on May 11, 2016, Congress passed the Defend Trade Secrets Act (DTSA). The DTSA is the product of years of growing concern over the threats to trade secrets in the information economy where companies have lost value due to the loss of trade secrets. This panel will discuss best practices for protecting company innovation and trade secret processes, data and communications in business transactions and day-to-day operations. Particular attention will be focused on best practices to maintain trade secrets, assert trade secrets under the DTSA and recommended language for employee agreements so that they comply with this new law.

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.
