Are Your Employees Selling You Out?
Your Role in Guiding Employees
to Avoid Infringement and Lost Rights
Noon to 1:30 pm June 12, 2008
John Marshall Law School
In 2006, a Coca-Cola employee offered company
secrets for sale to competitors for $1.5 million. Last year, she was
sentenced to eight years in jail. Could this happen to your clients or
your company? Are you sure?
Employee misuse of copyrights, trademarks and trade
secrets is on the rise in the Internet Age, posing a serious risk of lost
rights, crippling liability, damage awards and destroyed business
relationships. In fact, a 2002 study of 1600 companies estimated that the
surveyed companies were likely to experience annual intellectual property
losses of more than $50 billion. As business managers or counsel,
you are at the front line to fight this battle against employee misuse through
policies, training and vigilance.
I will be speaking at a free program on this topic to guide you through
the rights, risks and practices you must learn to win this critical battle.
This program will show you how to recognize and
address internal intellectual property misuse and to create effective policies
to avoid liability, reduce risk and protect rights.
Who should attend?
CEOs, senior management and business owners ▪ Human resource
managers ▪ In-house counsel ▪ General
business and IP counsel ▪ Law students
There is no cost to
