On August 20, 2024, Judge Ada Brown of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas set aside the FTC’s non-compete rule, meaning it will not take effect on September 4, 2024, and cannot be enforced. Read more in our latest update by Bianca Lindau on what this ruling means for businesses and how existing state-level regulations on non-competes will continue to govern. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gt5cVfRS #NonCompete #FTC #LegalUpdate #EmploymentLaw #CaldwellLaw

As Southeast Asia’s tech champions—Grab, Sea, and GoTo—navigate a challenging market, the pressure to demonstrate profitability is intensifying. With investor sentiment increasingly cautious due to geopolitical tensions and a fragile macroeconomic environment, these companies are under the microscope. Partner and Global Director of the Corporate Practice, Marcus Wolter, emphasized, "The market may be skeptical about GoTo's ability to achieve synergy between these operations, especially given the competitive pressures in Indonesia." The challenges these tech giants face underscore a broader trend in Southeast Asia: declining fundraising activity and more selective investment strategies. As the region’s startups grapple with these headwinds, the need to prove financial viability and competitive strength has never been more crucial. Explore the full article to understand how these dynamics are shaping the future of Southeast Asia’s tech landscape. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g7huq_NB #Investors #Profitability #Grab #Sea #GoTo #VentureCapital #StartupFunding #CaldwellLaw #TechNews #ASEAN

In today’s intellectual property-driven landscape, patents are more than just legal protections—they’re assets that can significantly influence investment decisions and acquisition strategies, especially in the rapidly evolving AI sector. With a record $29.1 billion invested across 691 generative AI deals in 2023, and VC funding reaching $55.6 billion in Q2 alone, the competition is fierce. Investors are becoming more selective, making a strong, strategically developed patent portfolio a key differentiator. A well-crafted patent strategy can be the difference between a standard exit and a lucrative one. Read the full article to learn how to maximize your patent portfolio’s value in exit scenarios, written by Keegan Caldwell, PhD. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gZSFewM4 #IntellectualProperty #Patents #AI #Innovation #ExitStrategy #VentureCapital #Investment #CaldwellLaw #TechLaw #MergersAndAcquisitions

China is becoming a hotspot for patent enforcement and monetization opportunities as it launched several pilot programs in recent years to promote IP licensing. In 2021, the government also updated the national legislation with respect to how damages should be calculated in patent infringement proceedings as it levels the playing field for foreign enterprises. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/ewcmbn8E #PatentLaw #IPEnforcement #IntellectualProperty #ChinaIP #PatentLicensing #IPMonetization #GlobalIP #LegalInnovation #PatentStrategy #ForeignEnterprises #LegalUpdates #PatentInfringement #IPLaw #TechLaw

We are perhaps less surprised than most to see China using intellectual property (IP) as collateral for loans to boost its economy and stimulate credit growth. This strategy is unlocking billions of dollars in financing for tech start-ups and small businesses that typically struggle to secure funding due to a lack of tangible assets like land or machinery. According to this report, data shows a remarkable 57% surge in IP-pledged financing in the first half of 2024 compared to the previous year. Driven by Beijing's commitment to supporting innovation and small enterprises, this approach could be a game-changer for China's tech sector. At Caldwell, we are part of an ever-growing number of IP-pledged financing transactions, which have helped to catapult our clients' early-stage growth. As China continues to expand this initiative, its impact on the global landscape of tech financing and innovation will be closely watched. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eXKU-Gbk #TechInnovation #Startups #IPFinancing #ChinaEconomy #Investment #CreditGrowth

Global Managing Partner, Keegan Caldwell, PhD, shares his latest insights in "How AI Can Affect Intellectual Property And What It Means For Leaders" on Forbes. As AI continues to advance, its ability to mimic human creativity brings both opportunities and risks. While AI can enhance productivity, it falls short in generating truly novel ideas, making human creativity more valuable—and more vulnerable—than ever before. As AI reshapes industries, safeguarding the uniquely human aspects of innovation will be key to thriving in the future.
