Mr Sykes, IT Group’s Managing Director, and Mr Coyne will be participating in one of SCL’s prominent events, aimed to deliver expert opinion and advice on Software Copyright and disputes surrounding the illegitimacy of copying software. The seminar, taking place on the 28th September for both SCL members and non-members, will cover the practical issues of giving disclosure in software copyright disputes, whether stolen from a company and used in its own right or as the basis of a new, competing product. Points that will be discussed and illustrated with real-life case examples include:

• The importance of obtaining a forensically sound image of the media upon which emails, design specifications and software reside or have resided
• Analysis of the unallocated file space, to reveal the missing links in trains of events
• Issues of confidentiality and privilege
• How and when to instruct experts.

The Society for Computers and Law is the leading UK organisation for legal professionals advising and practicing within the IT sector.
