Product Description

Technology is rapidly permeating everyday products at an unprecedented pace—transforming them into smart devices that aggregate and share information. Refrigerators, washers, dryers, security and HVAC systems, watches, heart monitoring devices, and vehicles name just a few of the applications joining the ever-expanding ranks of “smart objects.” As the devices clients design, manufacture, and use increasingly link into a much larger, global network, it sets the stage for myriad business opportunities—as well as legal liabilities. 

Hear the expert panelists provide an overview of current industry initiatives, and the policy concerns informing government regulation. Understand the steps you need to take to help your clients properly identify and protect their intellectual property. Hear what forward-thinking manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors should be doing to anticipate the unique product liability ramifications inherent in the ever-expanding gamut of smart devices. And learn about the many business opportunities and potential legal landmines inherent in the aggregation, transmittal, analysis, and collection of the many types of information smart devices now enable clients and consumers to access. IoT is the new frontier for intellectual property, products liability, and data security and privacy law. Get the foundation to be one of the early adopters of this burgeoning practice area—and master the skills to add unique value for your clients.
