In California especially, the workplace is often the laboratory where creative ideas are hatched and innovative products are launched. While striving to create environments where innovation and creativity thrive, successful companies must also ensure that appropriate safeguards and agreements are in place to protect intellectual property. Employers also face challenges in navigating fair trade practices and employee privacy rights while capitalizing on the explosion of social media. Complicating the entire picture are the increasingly fluid borders of where, when, and how work is accomplished in this dynamic economy.
Leading intellectual property and employment attorneys from private industry, public agencies, private law firms, and distinguished law schools will identify and discuss the important intellectual property and social media issues that arise in today’s workplace and suggest practical strategies for addressing them.
