TrainingUnderstanding Software Intellectual Property (4.25 California MCLE Credit Hours)Zeidman Consulting is approved MCLE Provider #14630. Course Abstract: Software copyright infringement and trade secret theft are problems of growing concern in industry. These kinds of intellectual property theft may be purposeful when performed to gain an unfair advantage over a competitor, or they may be unintended as in the case of a programmer that takes code from one project and uses it in another project without first obtaining the appropriate rights. In all cases, a formal methodology is required and a standard, quantitative measure is needed to be able to effectively compare source code from different sources to determine whether trade secret theft or copyright infringement has occurred. Just as important, legal and technical definitions are needed. This seminar will define important terms from a technical perspective and a legal perspective so that litigation involving software intellectual property is less a battle of experts and more a quantitative comparison of repeatable results. The seminar will examine various measures of software correlation and various tools for detecting IP infringement. Course Outline
Who Should Attend: This course is intended for intellectual property lawyers and expert witnesses as well as corporate executives, project managers, and programmers who are concerned about detecting theft and plagiarism of their own code or avoiding theft and plagiarism by programmers working for them. Result: By the end of the course, students will understand ways of defining, detecting, and measuring software intellectual property and its theft and infringement. Prerequisites: None. Cost This training is $500 per person and includes lunch. Dates and Locations Lawyers are trained at your location. To schedule training, please contact us at Info@ZeidmanConsulting.com.
