This CLE webinar will prepare counsel for companies using open source software to understand and address the legal risks of open source licensing. The panel will provide best practices for ensuring compliance, minimizing infringement and monitoring.

Description

Open source software makes up as much as half of the code used in software and imposes licensing conditions on developers. Using open source software offers many benefits but also comes with risks and costs, including potential liability for failure to comply with licenses or infringing third-party IP rights.

To avoid possible claims of copyright infringement, or other claims, licensees and their counsel should manage and account for their open source use to ensure they adhere to the conditions of the license.

Listen as our authoritative panel of IP attorneys examines the risks and requirements of open source licensing. The panel will also discuss compliance enforcement and infringement as well as monitoring software development to ensure open source license compliance.
