Potential liability issues can arise for lawyers who perform or handle patent and trademark searches. Searches involve complex legal and technical analysis that requires careful documentation and client communication. An inadequate or negligent search could result in a malpractice claim if a pertinent patent is missed, leading to infringement claims or wasted R&D costs.

Failure to conduct a reasonable search or keep clients informed may form the basis for a legal malpractice lawsuit.

Basics of Intellectual Property PPT by Rob Traver at Sheridan RossArlen Meyers, MD, MBA
Intellectual property protection provides benefits like attracting investment, protecting creative works, and building business value. Copyright protects original creative works including books, music, art, and software. It is obtained automatically upon creation but registration provides additional benefits. Copyright lasts for the creator's life plus 70 years. Trademarks protect brands, logos, names, and slogans to identify the source of products and services. Trademarks can last indefinitely if renewed every 10 years and the brand is continuously used in commerce. Both copyrights and trademarks require enforcement to protect the owner's rights and prevent infringement.
The document discusses various methods for transferring intellectual property rights (IPR), such as licensing agreements, joint ventures, and shifting production offshore. It also summarizes international treaties and organizations that help standardize and protect IPR across borders, such as the Paris Convention, Patent Cooperation Treaty, World Intellectual Property Organization, and agreements regarding trademarks, patents, and domain names. Key aspects covered include priority claims, centralized application processes, minimum standards of protection, and enforcement mechanisms.
This document summarizes hot topics in IP enforcement at the International Trade Commission (ITC). It discusses the ITC process and comparisons to district courts. Key topics covered include importation requirements, severance of investigations, proving domestic industry, the Early Disposition Program, public interest factors, intersections with PTAB proceedings, and non-patent claims like unfair competition that can be brought at the ITC. Recent case examples are provided for many of these procedural and legal issues in ITC Section 337 investigations.

Overall, the document serves as a guide to the wide variety of resources and tools available for conducting copyright research.
Intellectual Property Rights: Between Exclusivity and Market PowerMoses Muchiri
This document provides an analysis of the relationship between intellectual property rights (IPRs) and competition law. It summarizes the U.S. Supreme Court's 2006 decision in Illinois Tool Works v. Independent Ink, which rejected the presumption that patents confer market power. The decision established that plaintiffs in tying cases must prove the defendant has market power in the relevant market, rather than relying on this presumption. It analyzes how the presumption originally arose and reasons for its failure, noting a lack of economic evidence supporting an equivalence between legal and economic monopolies. The ruling shifts analysis of patent tying cases to a rule of reason approach.

Learning Objective: Develop an understanding of how an invention can be protected.
At some point in your life, a light bulb above your head shines bright, as you believe you’ve come up with something brilliant, namely an invention. But what now? How do you protect it?
Whether you want to produce and market your invention on your own, or license it to another company, the only way to profit from your invention and to guarantee that no one will steal your idea is to seek patent protection. This seminar will help you gain an understanding of patents and the process of pursuing patent protection of your inventions.
At the end of this seminar, participants will be able to:
a. Explore the pros and cons of pursuing patent protection.
b. Understand the patent application process.
c. Identify options for patent monetization.
The document provides an introduction to intellectual property rights. It discusses the four main types of intellectual property: trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets. Trademarks protect words, names, symbols or designs that identify the source of goods or services. Copyright protects original works of authorship such as books, music, art and software. Patents protect inventions and discoveries and are granted for utility patents, design patents and plant patents. Trade secrets protect any valuable confidential business information and do not require formal registration. The document outlines the registration processes and duration of protection for each type of intellectual property. The overall purpose of intellectual property law is to balance protecting creators' rights with allowing public access to their works.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
