IP & Privileged Communications - The Extent & Limits Explored
Introduction
This new virtual classroom seminar will help you understand the extent and limits of privileged communications, and how without prejudice communications fit into the overall protections.
You will learn about when sharing material with other advisors will lose privilege, the extent of the protection in without prejudice communications and when it will be lost.
Two recent cases concerning FRAND licences led to information being used to achieve a settlement was then made available to third parties in subsequent cases.
The session will look at when privilege actually applies, examine when advice has fallen outside the scope of protection and when the courts have lifted the lid on without prejudice negotiations.
It is suitable for lawyers involved in patent and trade mark issues.
