MergePHP - Code Interfaces, Patents, and Copyrights
Details
PRESENTATION: Code Interfaces, Patents, and Copyrights
Zoom Webinar Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/451710299
Presentation by Mike Stowe, RingCentral
In a landmark decision that marked the end of a ten year saga, the Supreme Court ruled that APIs are not copyrightable. In this talk, we'll take a look at the claims from copyright to patent infringement, review the history of decisions, and look into the key statements behind the Supreme Court ruling. We'll discuss what this likely means for the future of code interfaces and what it means for interoperability. Note - this is not legal advice.
