New Issues Regarding Animals in Family Law
and Criminal Matters
Experts in the fields of animal and family law provide perspectives on
the intersection of animal abuse and domestic violence, and highlight
some of the ways service animals are utilized in the legal system.
When are animals the subject of a legal dispute or controversy? How
can service animals help crime victims? What happens to animals in
domestic violence situations, and are there shelter services available
for these animals? Other topics will include the pros and cons of using
service animals in the courtroom, the correlation between animal
abuse and domestic violence, and local efforts to help prevent animal
abuse and assist animal victims of violence.

Indirect Infringement of Patents,
Copyrights and Trademarks

2 p.m. – 5: 15 p.m.
Online Infringement of Intellectual Property
Rights By Multi-Party Users
This session will look at the differences in direct vs. indirect patent
infringement in light of the recent Federal Circuit decisions in Akamai
and McKesson. Participants will learn what direct infringement is,
how it used to be applied in multi-party infringement suits, and how
the laws have recently changed. The discussion will also include
practice points, a look at how this affects the current trends in patent
litigation, and a mention of a few of the unanswered or newly raised
questions related to the changes in the law regarding multi-party
patent infringement.
The inexpensive, rapid, and massive copying possibilities that digital
technologies and the Internet have made available have brought
issues of enforcement of copyright and other intellectual property
rights into strong focus. Rightowners retain all of the rights they have
always had against infringers whom they can identify and who are
amenable to enforcement measures, such as litigation. In the Internet-connected world, however, these rightowners would like to be able to
engage the assistance of other participants in the processes in which
infringements are taking place. Most of the initial focus was on Internet
service providers (ISPs) and website operators, but recently banks,
advertisers, and other participants in Internet commerce have been
the object of judicial and legislative attention aimed at inducing a
greater responsibility on the part of these participants to uncover and
prevent infringement of intellectual property rights on the Internet.
Governments, too, have been active in both civil and criminal
enforcement.
