After suing the operators of pirate IPTV service SetTV in 2018, the very same year broadcaster DISH Network walked away with a significant victory. Platform operators Nelson Johnson and Jason LaBossiere were ordered to pay DISH a cool $90 million in damages for violations of the Federal Communications Act. The court also issued a permanent injunction that prohibited the men from operating a similar IPTV service in the future, if that breached DISH’s rights.

Software is complex, which makes threats to the software supply chain more real every day. 64% of organizations have been impacted by a software supply chain attack and 60% of data breaches are due to unpatched software vulnerabilities. In the U.S. alone, cyber losses totaled $10.3 billion in 2022. All of these stats beg the question, “Do you know what’s in your software?

At the end of 2020, US Congress passed new legislation that officially introduced a “small claims” process for copyright disputes. The CASE Act, short for “Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement,” established a copyright claims board within the United States Copyright Office. This three-member tribunal provides an option to resolve copyright disputes outside the federal courts, which significantly reduces the associated costs.

Patent protection is perhaps the most contentious form of IP protection for software. There is no surer way to start a fight amongst the various interest groups interested in patents than to discuss software patents — both because the issue is so contentious and because the law is, to say the least, confusing (or was that confused?).

Trade marks are very strong rights, on the basis of which a proprietor can bring forward a wide variety of claims. Yet, the rights conferred by a trade mark may be limited, for instance when the proprietor faces an earlier right applying in a particular locality. With respect to such earlier rights, article 14(3) of the Trade Mark Directive (2015/2436) provides that a trade mark proprietor may prohibit the use thereof, if that right is recognized by the laws of the Member State.

A non-fungible token (“NFT”) is a type of financial asset that is made up of digital data stored in a blockchain. Clear as mud, right? The person or entity that owns the NFT records the ownership in the blockchain, which allows NFTs to be sold and traded. NFTs typically are made up of digital files such as photos, videos, and music. This can even expand to internet viral memes, like Disaster Girl , which became an NFT valued at $401,718.00.

Litigators know it is generally not easy to recover attorneys’ fees in defense of a trade secret misappropriation action. The Federal Defend Trade Secrets Act (“DTSA”) permits a court to “award reasonable attorneys’ fees” to the defendant when a claim of misappropriation is “made in bad faith,” which “may be established by circumstantial evidence.” [1] But what exactly does bad faith mean and what is the threshold?
