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, and how it differs for lawyers, patent attorneys and trademark attorneys.

It will also examine when advice has fallen outside the scope of protection and when the courts have lifted the lid on without prejudice negotiations.

What You Will Learn

This live and interactive session will cover the following:

• What is and is not actually privileged
• How different qualified advisors affect what is privileged
• How far common interest privilege extends
• What to keep in mind if advisors are in foreign jurisdictions
• How without prejudice negotiation fits within privilege and when you can lose it
