CM21 – A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Privilege, Ethics and Lawin Cyberspace and the Real WorldAll LevelsWSCTC, Ballroom 6B

Designed to achieve a balance between the demands of jus-tice and the confidentiality of the attorney-client relationship,the doctrine of privilege in relation to trademarks is strainingunder the threat of fresh challenges. One recent strain is theexplosive growth of cyberspace as a trading medium, whereuse of the same brand may be subject to different rules andadvice on legal and ethical issues that transcend nationalborders. A second strain is the attempt to bridge the gapbetween countries with a rich tradition of client privilege andthose where it is little recognized, and attempts to identifycommon ground and norms for a future international treaty.But these challenges cannot be resolved in the abstract, asthey relate to real problems faced by real businesses. Thissession, presented by a panel of professors, offers aHitchhiker’s Guide through a wide spectrum of issues, flag-ging topics that should be of concern to every brand ownerand to every trademark attorney.
