Email is fast and easy form of communication, but unless you encrypt your messages, you risk that someone could intercept, read, alter or destroy your emails.

Astonishingly, all four of the following statements are true:

    * It is very easy for third parties to intercept email messages. It is technically possible for third parties to alter emails.
    * It is extremely easy to use encryption and digital signing to make it nearly impossible for anyone to intercept, read, or alter emails
    * Nearly all commonly used email programs, including Microsoft Outlook and Thunderbird, have encryption capabilities built in
    * Very few attorneys use encryption to protect their email communications

In this webinar, we will discuss ethical issues in the use of email in attorney-client communications, and we will discuss ways to protect such communications.

When? December 8, 2009

    * 11:00 AM to 12 noon Pacific Time
    * 12 noon to 1:00 PM Mountain Time
    * 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Central Time
    * 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time

Learn the \"best practices\" for use of encryption of email between attorney and client, and for use of encryption between attorneys.

    * Learn the difference between \"digital signing\" and \"encryption\" of email messages
    * Learn how to secure not only the body of an email message from prying eyes, but also any attachments
    * Learn how to know whether an email that has been sent to you has been \"signed\" and whether it has been \"encrypted\"
    * Learn how to explain all of this to your clients, so that they may conveniently use encryption in their communications with you

美国知识产权在线课程：US patent and PCT powers of attorney
培训时间：2009年12月2日 凌晨3点到4点
培训语言：英文

When? December 1, 2009

    * 11:00 AM to 12 noon Pacific Time
    * 12 noon to 1:00 PM Mountain Time
    * 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Central Time
    * 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern Time

The program. Some legacy practices regarding US and PCT powers of attorney raise issues of professional responsibility. An inventors\' declaration, if poorly worded, could lead to an attorney having multiple clients. An inventors\' declaration could lead to the client finding it difficult or almost impossible to discharge counsel. A failure to secure proper assignments could lead to the client being unable to grant a Power of Attorney to new counsel.

In the world of Patent Cooperation Treaty patent applications, some legacy practices can lead to a situation where it is difficult or nearly impossible for the client to discharge counsel and to grant a new Power of Attorney.

Learn the \"best practices\" from the point of view of the corporate client, that minimize any impediments to firing of old counsel and retaining new counsel.

Learn the \"best practices\" from the practitioner\'s point of view, for minimizing potential conflicts of interest (having mixed duties to the inventor as well as to the \"real\" client) and for setting things up so as to pursue the client\'s interests.

    * Avoiding the use of \"poisoned\" inventors\' declarations
    * Making sure that proper assignments are in place with reel and frame numbers easy to find
    * use of \"designations of common representative\" instead of individual Powers of Attorney from PCT inventors

Who should attend? There are two target audiences for this program.

    * First, in-house corporate attorneys (regardless of whether they are admitted to practice before the USPTO or not) should attend, so that they will know how to avoid getting \"boxed in\" to a situation where it is difficult or impossible to fire outside patent counsel.
    * Second, outside patent counsel should attend, so that they can avoid inadvertently having multiple clients and the conflicts of interest that can follow.
