- April 16 – The Indeminar: Indemnities in Contracts about Software, the Cloud, and AI
- May 21 – IP Terms in Contracts about AI, the Cloud, and On-Premise Software: Licenses, Warranties, Open Source, and More
- The Indeminar: Topics include: The difference between “first party” and “third party” indemnities. Important vocabulary, like “hold harmless,” and “mutual” indemnities. Intellectual property (IP) indemnities, including troubling issues related to IP in AI contracts. Data incident indemnities. Advanced indemnities: The “Cause Problem” – thorny issues involving losses the indemnitor caused. Interplay with limits of liability.
- IP Terms: Intellectual property terms play a central role in licenses to on-premise software – and a much-misunderstood role in contracts about SaaS and other forms of cloud computing. We will debunk myths and explore old and new issues, including those related to generative AI and other AI deals. Topics include: Typical software copyright license. The role of patents. Licensing (or lack thereof) in SaaS/cloud. IP indemnities. IP warranties and other remedies. IP in prompts, training data, outputs – and other troubles generated by AI. Open source software.
