Comments from the 2020 Technology Law Live Webcast
Great job pulling off a live webcast with many presenters!! Refreshing to see fellow lawyers in their home. A nice change of scenery. Really enjoyed the Ransomware discussion with Elizabeth Cookson and Bert Huffman. Nice panel discussion on Covid19 employer/employee Privacy issues this morning. Thank you. Job well done!
This year had less technology depth and coverage than prior years.
Would like to see more classes on contractual issues such as indemnity and limitation of liability.
As always topics extremely on point and one of the best CLEs I attend every year!
Thank you! Many great presenters.

Beyond SaaS: Licensing Strategies for Today’s Tech (Jun 2020)
Perpetual licenses are rare, “term” licenses have become subscriptions, and the phrase “software-as-a-service” falls short of describing today’s technology offerings. This presentation discusses recent developments in licensing such as aggregation of rights under the FTC’s and DOJ’s updated Antitrust Guidelines for the Licensing of Intellectual Property, “app-store” requirements, and data bundling. Also explore practical approaches to finding the balance between monetizing technology and managing risks from both the provider’s and the recipient’s perspective.
