May 12, 2021 Webinar CLE: Deciphering Google v. Oracle

Posted on Posted in CLE

Topic:  Deciphering Google v. Oracle

Speakers: Please join us as speaker McCoy Smith gives a presentation on the landmark April, 2021 U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Google v. Oracle, which some have labelled “the biggest software development case ever.” The presentation will review the lengthy (10+ years) of the litigation leading to that decision, the issues that the Court did, and intentionally did not, address, and some speculation on how that decision will impact future litigation over software copyrights – as well as possibly non-technical copyrights.

McCoy Smith is an intellectual property and business lawyer and litigator, with over 35 years of experience as a patent examiner, patent prosecutor, patent litigator, intellectual property counselor and in-house IP attorney at a Fortune 50 technology company. In 2019 McCoy founded, and still heads, Lex Pan Law, where he provides advice and counseling relating to intellectual property rights, patent prosecution and analysis, software licensing and license compliance, and mergers and acquisition negotiations and due diligence. He also founded and heads a software license compliance consulting business, Opsequio. He is a former instructor for a major patent bar review course provider, and sits on the editorial board of Journal of Open Law, Technology & Society, an international journal dedicated to free and open licensing.
