Litigation Forecast: Developments in Trade Secrets Law and Strategies for Pursuing International Theft

Event | 09.18.13, 12:00 AM UTC - 12:00 AM UTC


With the challenges of the internet age, the globalization of business operations and markets, and the increasing sophistication of cyber thieves, companies must be more aggressive in protecting their confidential information and pursuing misappropriation.  Legislators and executive agencies at both the federal and state levels have increasingly cracked down on the theft of trade secrets, while the courts have delivered both wins and losses to intellectual property holders.  
   
This webinar will examine:

  • Recently enacted and proposed legislation and administrative strategies to strengthen intellectual property protection and enforcement.
  • The latest legal developments in trade secrets law, including the issuance of a monumental permanent injunction and divergent views on the applicability of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
  • Tactics and pitfalls in litigating against foreign defendants.

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.
