International Technology Transfers

About

The U.S. Government imposes the most comprehensive and far-reaching technology export restrictions in the world. They control the export and re-export of technology, software, technical assistance and services of U.S. origin and foreign-origin technology or software. These controls affect the release of technical data or software source code to foreign nationals in the U.S. and abroad, electronic transmission of technical data or software, and hand-carried technical data, software, samples, parts, professional equipment and delivery of services.

Enforcement officials are vigorously pursuing technology transfer violations and non-compliance can be more costly than ever before - multi-million dollar criminal and civil penalties, imprisonment and trade embargoes by U.S. authorities. You cannot afford to run afoul of export controls regulations. Your business could be at stake.

The American Conference Institute's publication from the 4th National Forum on International Technology Transfers is a must-have for export controls compliance executives and their advisers. You will have an invaluable opportunity to share best practices with industry experts. Senior in-house, government and private practice experts will provide you with updates, legal analysis and practical tools for overcoming your most complex challenges. Key topics will include:

  • Reconciling deemed export/re-export restrictions with anti-discrimination and privacy laws
  • Implementing effective IT & physical controls for limiting employee and visitor access
  • Updates on enforcement, prosecution and investigations of tech transfer cases
  • Offshore outsourcing of tech support, R & D and software development: How to protect intangibles
  • Complying with encryption requirements and preparing for new regulations
  • Structuring your internal technology controls compliance program: Minimizing the risk of heightened penalties
  • Globalizing Your U.S. technology compliance program: Ensuring compliance of foreign affiliates and subsidiaries
