Description:  

 

Recent security breaches at financial and other institutions have sparked Congressional interest in protecting intangible yet important intellectual property and privacy rights, including information about customers and employees such as Social Security Numbers and health information.  This session will review how intellectual property and privacy are changing the workplace, including the need to train employees to minimize the risk of security breaches.

Topics Will Include:

• Trade secret and intellectual property protection programs
• Federal and state privacy legislation affecting employers
• Other recent employment law developments, including several recent Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower cases in which executives have been reinstated to their jobs over the vigorous objections of their former employers
