Trade secrets are a more important form of an intellectual property asset than ever. Congress recently passed the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, which created new federal laws that allow an owner of a trade secret to sue in federal court when its trade secrets have been misappropriated. And as technology continues to exponentially progress in the digital age of the 21st Century, the need for businesses to protect and limit access to valuable and confidential trade secret information continues to rise. The progress in technology and expansion of information also promotes means for monetizing and leveraging trade secrets. How do you identify your trade secrets, protect them, and leverage them? These are the questions this cutting-edge webinar discusses and seeks to answer.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
RIGHTS OF VICTIM EDITED PRESENTATION(SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Victims of crime have a range of rights designed to ensure their protection, support, and participation in the justice system. These rights include the right to be treated with dignity and respect, the right to be informed about the progress of their case, and the right to be heard during legal proceedings. Victims are entitled to protection from intimidation and harm, access to support services such as counseling and medical care, and the right to restitution from the offender. Additionally, many jurisdictions provide victims with the right to participate in parole hearings and the right to privacy to protect their personal information from public disclosure. These rights aim to acknowledge the impact of crime on victims and to provide them with the necessary resources and involvement in the judicial process.
A "File Trademark" is a legal term referring to the registration of a unique symbol, logo, or name used to identify and distinguish products or services. This process provides legal protection, granting exclusive rights to the trademark owner, and helps prevent unauthorized use by competitors.

In 2020, the Ministry of Home Affairs established a committee led by Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh, former Vice Chancellor of National Law University (NLU), Delhi. This committee was tasked with reviewing the three codes of criminal law. The primary objective of the committee was to propose comprehensive reforms to the country’s criminal laws in a manner that is both principled and effective.
The committee’s focus was on ensuring the safety and security of individuals, communities, and the nation as a whole. Throughout its deliberations, the committee aimed to uphold constitutional values such as justice, dignity, and the intrinsic value of each individual. Their goal was to recommend amendments to the criminal laws that align with these values and priorities.
Subsequently, in February, the committee successfully submitted its recommendations regarding amendments to the criminal law. These recommendations are intended to serve as a foundation for enhancing the current legal framework, promoting safety and security, and upholding the constitutional principles of justice, dignity, and the inherent worth of every individual.

WINDING UP of COMPANY, Modes of DissolutionKHURRAMWALI
Winding up, also known as liquidation, refers to the legal and financial process of dissolving a company. It involves ceasing operations, selling assets, settling debts, and ultimately removing the company from the official business registry.
Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of winding up:
Reasons for Winding Up:
Insolvency: This is the most common reason, where the company cannot pay its debts. Creditors may initiate a compulsory winding up to recover their dues.
Voluntary Closure: The owners may decide to close the company due to reasons like reaching business goals, facing losses, or merging with another company.
Deadlock: If shareholders or directors cannot agree on how to run the company, a court may order a winding up.
Types of Winding Up:
Voluntary Winding Up: This is initiated by the company's shareholders through a resolution passed by a majority vote. There are two main types:
Members' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is solvent (has enough assets to pay off its debts) and shareholders will receive any remaining assets after debts are settled.
Creditors' Voluntary Winding Up: The company is insolvent and creditors will be prioritized in receiving payment from the sale of assets.
Compulsory Winding Up: This is initiated by a court order, typically at the request of creditors, government agencies, or even by the company itself if it's insolvent.
Process of Winding Up:
Appointment of Liquidator: A qualified professional is appointed to oversee the winding-up process. They are responsible for selling assets, paying off debts, and distributing any remaining funds.
Cease Trading: The company stops its regular business operations.
Notification of Creditors: Creditors are informed about the winding up and invited to submit their claims.
Sale of Assets: The company's assets are sold to generate cash to pay off creditors.
Payment of Debts: Creditors are paid according to a set order of priority, with secured creditors receiving payment before unsecured creditors.
Distribution to Shareholders: If there are any remaining funds after all debts are settled, they are distributed to shareholders according to their ownership stake.
Dissolution: Once all claims are settled and distributions made, the company is officially dissolved and removed from the business register.
Impact of Winding Up:
Employees: Employees will likely lose their jobs during the winding-up process.
Creditors: Creditors may not recover their debts in full, especially if the company is insolvent.
Shareholders: Shareholders may not receive any payout if the company's debts exceed its assets.
Winding up is a complex legal and financial process that can have significant consequences for all parties involved. It's important to seek professional legal and financial advice when considering winding up a company.
2. Legal Disclaimer
This webinar is based on available information as of February 9, 2022,
but everyone must understand that this webinar is not a substitute for
legal advice. This presentation is not intended and will not serve as a
substitute for legal counsel on these issues.
4. Intellectual Property (IP)
• IP – legal processes used to capture the intangible value
of creativity
• Key questions – how to:
Identify
Value
Procure
Monetize
Enforce IP protected assets
5. Why IP Strategy Matters?
Freedom to operate
o Ensure you have the rights you need to conduct and grow your business
Investment
o Innovation based investment can be expensive and risky. By protecting
your output you increase investor confidence in long-term potential.
Value creation
o Creativity creates value. Your IP assets reflect the value of creative
potential in your business.
Increase competitive advantage
o IP allows you to cultivate a dominant brand, reputation and offering in your
market.
6. Types and Nature of IP:
• Copyrights
• Trademarks
• Trade Secrets
• Patents
7. Copyrights – Expressions of Ideas
• Original created works:
Software, databases, publications, art, literature, video, music,
architecture, performance, recordings, etc.
• Copyright protects against copying and distribution and
does not protect the ideas (17 U.S.C. 102(b))
• Two elements to a copyright infringement claim: (1)
ownership of a valid copyright, and (2) copying of
constituent elements of the work are original (show
“substantial similarity.”)
8. Trademarks
• Any word, symbol, logo or combination thereof used to
designate the origin of goods or services
• Government registration ®
• Common law protection ™ Symbol
• Right to exclude others
9. TRADE SECRETS: Why are trade secrets important?
• Protect ideas that offer a competitive advantage
• Protect valuable business information.
• Protect proprietary “know-how”
• No governmental registration process
• Might be only protection available
• No expiration date
• Relatively inexpensive
10. Notes on the Definition – Defend Trade Secrets Act
• Any type of information of any subject matter can be a trade secret. Trade
secret defined as:
“All forms and types of financial, business, scientific, technical, economic, or
engineering information, including patterns, plans, compilations, program
devices, formulas, designs, prototypes, methods, techniques, processes,
procedures, programs, or codes, whether tangible or intangible, and whether
or how stored, compiled, or memorialized physically, electronically,
graphically, photographically, or in writing….”
• Must take reasonable measures to keep such information secret.
• Information is only a trade secret if it derives independent economic value
(actual or potential) from not being generally known or “readily ascertainable”
through proper means.
11. Protection Guidelines:
• Confidentiality agreements/document disclosure
• Physical security measures
• Limiting access/disclosure
• Mark as “Confidential Information”
12. Misappropriation
• Liability for trade secret misappropriation arises when trade secret
information is disclosed or utilized in violation of a confidential
relationship
o Acquisition of a trade secret by a person who knows or has reason to
know that the trade secret was acquired by improper means; or
o Disclosure or use of a trade secret of another without express or implied
consent
13. Civil Seizure and Other Remedies
• Civil seizure mechanism: preventative tool employed prior to a formal finding of misappropriation in
which a court, on ex parte application by a trade-secret owner, may “issue an order providing for the
seizure of property necessary to prevent the propagation or dissemination of the trade secret that is the
subject of the action.”
• Injunction: A court may grant an injunction to prevent any actual or threatened misappropriation,
provided that the injunction does not “prevent a person from entering into an employment relationship,”
and that any conditions placed on employment are based on “evidence of threatened misappropriation
and not merely on the information the person knows.”
• Reasonable Royalty: in “exceptional circumstances that render an injunction inequitable,” the court
may condition future use of the trade secret on the payment of a reasonable royalty.
• Damages: Following a finding of misappropriation, a court may also award damages.
• Exemplary Damages / Attorney Fees: Where the trade secret is “willfully and maliciously
misappropriated,” a court may award exemplary damages double the damages amount already
awarded. A court may also award attorney fees where the misappropriation or claim of misappropriation
was in bad faith, or where a motion to terminate is made or opposed in bad faith.
15. Patents generally
• A patent is an exclusive right granted for an invention, which is a
“any new and useful process, machine, article of manufacture
(products), or composition of matter, or any new and useful
improvements thereof.”
• Government registration
• Right to exclude others
• Infringement
• Duration of protection (20 years from filing – utility patents)
16. Two-Step Mayo/Alice inquiry for § 101 subject
matter eligibility
1) Determine whether the claims are directed to a patent-ineligible
concept (claims directed to nature, natural phenomena, and
abstract ideas). Claims must be directed to one of the four
statutory categories;
2) Determine whether the claim’s elements, considered both
individually and as an ordered combination, transform the nature
of the claims into a patent-eligible application.
17. Software Protection:
• Broadly speaking, software is protectable under 3 areas
of IP law:
Patent law
Copyright law
Trade secret law
18. USPTO Criteria:
• USPTO established 3 parts to be considered by examiners in
determining whether method claims are directed to unpatentable
abstract ideas:
• Is the claim a process, machine, manufacture, or composition of matter? If so,
determine if the claim is directed to a judicial exception such as a law of nature,
a natural phenomenon, or an abstract idea;
• An abstract idea may include “a fundamental economic practice, a method of
organizing human activity, and idea itself (standing alone), or a mathematical
relationship; and
• If the claim is directed to an abstract idea, determine if the claim recites
additional elements that amount to significantly more than the judicial exception.
19. Computer Implemented Inventions:
• USPTO guidelines provide examples of prima facie unpatentable
subject matter:
• Basic economic practices or theories (e.g., insurance, financial transactions);
• Basic legal theories (e.g., dispute resolution, contracts);
• Mathematical concepts (e.g., algorithms);
• Mental activity (e.g., forming a judgment, observation, evaluation or opinion);
• Interpersonal interactions or relationships (e.g., dating);
• Teaching concepts; and
• Instructions on how to conduct business.
20. What is the Patent Process?
• Alerting the company to an invention – the invention
disclosure
• Determination of whether a patent application should be filed
- Commercial evaluation
- Legal review: patentability & freedom-to- operate
• Preparation of patent application
21. Important actions of an inventor:
• Prompt submission of an invention disclosure and filing of
a patent application before any publication
• Informing the Company of prior art
• Keeping clear records
22. Don’t Have it? Get it
• Purchase it
Get an assignment and record at the USPTO
• Get a license
Exclusive
Non-exclusive
23. Can’t Get It? Cover Yourself
• Get a legal opinion from outside counsel on infringement
and validity of a potential threat
• Design around – get confirming opinion of outside counsel
24. What Do You Do With It?
• Offense – keep competitors out!
• Defense – keep your market open
• Money Maker
Assign
License
Leverage
25. Manage Wisely
• Have internal procedures to manage ownership and stay
ahead of disclosures
• Use software to get a 3-D look at where you stand
• Review competitors’ intellectual property
26. Manage Wisely (cont’d)
• Maintain or increase your market share
• Block competitors regardless of rush to the market
• Supplement the bottom line

“link popularity”; the more links a page had, the
more popular it was, and thus should be ranked
higher.
