In this ebulletin, we look back at 2010 and we look forward to what 2011 will bring. For example, deal activity picked up in this sector in 2010 and we present you with some of our highlights including high profile projects for 3UK (in relation to the changes required to its existing shared network with T-mobile following their merger with Orange) and Kelsey Publishing (which acquired a number of titles from IPC Media). We continue to handle a case against JK Rowling and Bloomsbury Publishing brought by the trustee of the estate of Adrian Jacobs deceased that copyright in Willy the Wizard has allegedly been infringed by ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’.
Also, we examine the impact of the public sector cuts on the software and IT industry - which reportedly relies on the public sector for almost a third of its revenue. We assess the fallout from the Wikileaks saga and examine what effect this has on the cloud as a viable option for the average business. We guide you on the issues your business should consider in developing a risk management strategy to prevent data loss.
2010 was the year we launched TomiLaw, our blog which focuses on Technology, Online, Media and IP. We have followed some key issues in this sector. Follow the stories as they develop at tomilaw.com.
I hope you find this ebulletin interesting. As ever, we would be happy to cover issues of interest to you in future editions and we always welcome feedback.
Kind regards
