Implementing and Responding to Anti-counterfeiting Programs and Takedown Orders

Timothy Cahn & Ryan Bricker/Joanne Chatley

Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP/Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC

This panel will be part legal update and part “best practices” presentation for companies that send notices and those that respond. There have been some interesting recent legal developments in the DMCA / contributory infringement / take-down world. Legal standards in this area are evolving and diverging, and responsibilities are uncertain for companies involved in online businesses, including hosts, cloud companies, search engines, privacy services, registrars, etc. Meanwhile, perhaps capitalizing on this ambiguity in the law, content-owning companies increasingly resort to large-scale take down notice campaigns as an alternative to litigation. How can companies that seek to stop piratical, and other unlawful, online behavior best take advantage of the evolving rules concerning secondary liability and take down obligations? How can companies who receive notices adopt practices that minimize exposure and avoid imposition of affirmative monitoring and policing duties?

Cyber Intrusions: Incident Preparation and Response

Benjamin Powell

Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP

In 2012, data security became the number one concern of both boards of directors and general counsels according to a survey of 11,340 directors and 1,957 general counsel. And with good reason. A cybersecurity breach may not just be costly in terms of remediation and litigation costing millions (or tens of millions) of dollars, but directly threaten the functioning of a company. In the face of pervasive cyber threats and almost daily cyber breaches, what steps can be taken in advance to prevent serious cybersecurity incidents and, if prevention fails, manage a crisis resulting from a cybersecurity breach? Our discussion will focus on the critical role of legal counsel in ensuring a company has put in place measures to mitigate cyber threats and respond to a cybersecurity crisis. Experts will discuss the rapid legal developments in the cybersecurity area and the lessons learned from advising a wide range of companies on preventing and responding to cybersecurity incidents.
