  Intellectual property is a hot area of the law, and businesses, along with individuals, are using intellectual property interests to start, grow and value their businesses. After the patent, trademark or copyright application is filed, most individuals and businesses think they are done with the process; however, some often overlooked interests, estate planning issues, can present significant problems in the future. A change in marital status, death and estate planning structure can all influence how intellectual property is owned, transferred and prosecuted worldwide. This topic will focus on several key points of convergence between the intellectual property world and the estate planning world. Small, mid-size and large businesses, along with business owners and individuals will benefit from this information.

- DAMA Day 2019 – Let’s Talk Data Democratization and Data Privacy
  
  Panel: The Data Ethics of Emerging Technologies
  
  Presented by Karen Nadler, Karl Gerner, Tonya Gissleberg, David Rice
  
  New technologies have created a surge in the collection, use and volume of data. Artificial Intelligence (AI) enables the processing of enormous quantities of information, allowing it to identify data patterns and make decisions on a scale and pace beyond what humans can do. Internet-connected devices (referred to as the Internet of Things or IoT) collect data about their environment constantly, including where people are and what they are doing. Autonomous Vehicles (AV) use data sets and algorithms to able to travel with less and less human intervention over time. Facial recognition software makes it easier to identify people quickly and automatically.
  
  There are tremendous societal, business and individual benefits to these technologies. But there are also risks and questions.
  
  What are the ethics associated with these technologies? What happens when inputs and algorithms lead AI to create and reinforce data bias? What are the privacy and security concerns associated with IoT and facial recognition? What are the ethical issues associated with AVs that must “decide” how to respond in an emergency? Are data ethics uniform across technologies or are they specific to each one?
  
  What duties do the creators of these technologies owe to the people whose data is collected and used, if any? Will the US answer these questions in the same way as the rest of the world? How is the law shifting to address these concerns?

  WHY THIS MATTERS
  
  We once thought technology would merely change our lives. In 2019 it is now clear that technology is changing our cities. Not only has rideshare, the once buzzy word in tech and urban planning, been replaced by “floating transport” (referencing Bird, Lime, Jump, et al), but on-demand offerings at our fingertips seem to be multiplying like tribbles.
  
  When these trends are combined with the brilliance behind AI and Machine Learning which have made their way into things such as logistics, transportation, urban planning, and design, one thing is certain: the Urban Tech renaissance has arrived.
  
  Nowhere is this more evident than the Bay Area, the global birthplace of both innovation and venture capital. From startups like SF-based Bumblebee (utilizing robotics and an AI stack) who want to store your bed in your ceiling when you’re awake to industry titan JLL’s PAT and RED platforms, data-driven Urban Tech is not only the future of commercial real estate but the cities the CRE industry helps build.

Understanding the Benefits and Limitations of Section 108 and other bankruptcy statutes of limitation” on March 23.
  
  The commencement of a bankruptcy may affect litigation deadlines, jurisdictional and otherwise, which can keep lawyers up at night pondering the imponderable: how the Dickens can the client continue to assert its claims? And, of course, the consequences of a slight miscue can be devastating to your client (and perhaps to your career). This session will explore the impact of Section 108 on non-bankruptcy-related time limitations affecting the rights of various parties in a bankruptcy case, including (i) the extension for the debtor or trustee of the period to commence litigation or take certain actions (such as exercising rights of redemption), (ii) the applicability and operation of the statutes of limitations on avoidance actions, (iii) possible tolling of bankruptcy actions, and other deadlines, and (iv) the interaction of Section 108 with other sections of the Bankruptcy Code or with non-bankruptcy statutes.

There are various junctures where a startup’s IP could potentially be disclosed – raising capital, recruiting employees, beta testing or testing a prototype, and in day-to-day meetings.
  
  Dylan Wiseman will discuss the importance of protecting intellectual property each start-up should take in both legal and technical measures.

  Employers face a whole new set of challenges with the advent of legal recreational marijuana in California.
  
  California’s cannabis industry is quickly developing into the state’s largest industry. But the rapidly changing state of California law and the tension between federal and state law make it difficult for employers to maintain compliance with all regulations. Making matters more complicated is the FDA’s recent approval of the first CBD drug for epilepsy, which firmly establishes cannabis as having recognized medical value notwithstanding its current status as a Schedule 1 drug under the Controlled Substances Act. This information helps employers navigate these uncertain waters and understand how to properly handle employee and labor issues impacting the industry. Failing to have a proper set for policies in place regarding the cannabis industry can have severe legal and monetary consequences.
  
  Learning Objectives
  - You will be able to explain the current state of the law.
  - You will be able to describe employee use and drug testing policies.
  - You will be able to identify policy frameworks for employers.
  - You will be able to discuss labor peace agreements.

  The revelation of five additional parks makes it clear that there is far more to Westworld than initially meets the eye, and the continued exploration of this fantastic yet twisted Delos Destination depicted in the HBO hit Westworld presents an ever-growing bundle of legal questions and conundrums. The all-star posse of speakers from last year’s standing-room-only program returns. Ninth Circuit Justice John B. Owens,professor Betsy Rosenblatt, attorney and adjunct professor Paul Burns, attorney Farah Bhatti, and moderator Michael Lovitz discuss the top legal questions posed in the second season of HBO’s groundbreaking show, including numerous criminal activities by humans and hosts alike, corporate malfeasance and misappropriation of corporate assets, what is (and isn’t) intellectual property in these Delos parks, and even parsing out the question of the ownership of one’s own thoughts and dreams. And this year perhaps they’ll settle the question of just who really owns the intellectual property created by the robot hosts.

- Since the Herbalife and Vemma consent decrees with the Federal Trade Commission, the litigation focus in direct selling has shifted to private putative class actions filed against a large number of companies accused of operating illegal pyramid schemes, RICO (racketeering), false advertising, unfair business practices and the like. One of these cases has been certified as a class action, while the others are all in their early procedural stages. Many of these cases have been filed in Los Angeles, but others are pending in Miami, Houston, and elsewhere.
  
  Larry Steinberg of Buchalter will share his experiences with class action litigation and will address issues such as arbitration, choice of law, forum selection, class certification, policies and procedures, the current state of pyramid scheme law since FTC v. BurnLounge, and the securities law exemption to RICO. He will offer his analysis and insights as to how these cases can be litigated effectively and how direct selling companies can ward off and/or defeat these types of claims.

- Urgent Care Centers: Corporate Practice of Medicine, State Licensure, EMTALA, Reimbursement Compliance
- This CLE webinar will provide healthcare counsel with a review of the key legal and business issues involved with urgent care centers. The panel will offer guidance on forming, operating, acquiring and selling urgent care centers.
  
  Description
  
  The urgent care center industry has seen significant growth in the number of facilities in recent years, with $15 billion in revenue in 2016. Over $18 billion in revenue in 2017 is anticipated. The growth is spurred by healthcare reform and managed care organization coverage that encourages members to use urgent care facilities rather than emergency rooms.
  
  Forming urgent care centers is an attractive business for hospitals, retailers and private investors. When forming urgent care centers, counsel faces challenges that include complying with laws regarding corporate practice of medicine, meeting state licensure requirements, contracting for reimbursement with private and government payers, determining the best staffing model to use, and others.
  
  Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys discuss key structural, legal and business considerations for the formation, operation, acquisition and sale of urgent care centers.
  Outline
  1. Urgent care centers—a brief overview of the industry and its growth
  2. Key legal considerations when starting and operating urgent care centers
    1. Corporate practice of medicine
    2. Staffing models
    3. State licensure and permits
    4. Documentation and coding
    5. Other areas of focus
  3. Key business considerations
    1. Location, management and services
    2. Issues in buying or selling an urgent care center
    3. Partnering with hospitals and investors
  Benefits
  
  The panel will review these and other key issues:
  - What are the key legal and business considerations for counsel to healthcare providers opening and operating an urgent care center?
  - What are the most common business models used when forming urgent care centers?
  - What factors should healthcare counsel consider when acquiring and selling urgent care centers?

    For more than a decade, our Federal Court Boot Camp has taught thousands of attorneys about the ins-and-outs of Federal Court. The program is both a litigation primer and a primer for litigating in Federal Court.
    
    Attendees have rated our faculty so highly that many of the faculty return to teach year after year (and some have taught every single year).
    
    This litigation CLE course will walk you through the essential components and tasks involved in your case, from start to finish. You’ll learn both the rules and tasks, as well as the skills and techniques, you need to be a more effective litigator in Federal Court and to be a more effective litigator in general.

    Reading the Tea Leaves: Navigating Through Economic Trends Impacting Real Estate
    
    Richard Ormond, Attorney and Shareholder at Buchalter Nemer, will lead a discussion addressing emerging economic and legal trends impacting the economy, finance and real estate. The evening’s presentation will highlight both macro and micro economic trends that point towards an upcoming recession and a volatile economy where some real estate sectors and regions remain safer than others. As unpredictable as the U.S. economy will continue to be, the U.S. will remain a safe haven for foreign investors fleeing a worsening global economy with stagnant growth, joblessness, increased isolationism and the collapse of additional nation-states. Join us as we discuss the “silver linings” and challenges that exist and how navigating through them may prove to not be for the faint of heart.
