: Mai 2023 L’œil du gf2i – Le Règlement sur la cyber-solidarité, dernière brique du rempart européen contre les cyberattaques Le Cyber Solidarity Act (ou Règlement sur la cyber-solidarité) est un nouveau projet de règlement européen que la Commission a présenté le 18 avril dernier. Ce projet traduit la volonté de l’Union Européenne de renforcer la coopération des Etats européens en matière de lutte contre les cyberattaques importantes, ces dernières étant de nature à ignorer les frontières. Il s’inscrit donc dans le plus large plan réglementaire de l’Union Européenne de cybersécurité comprenant des textes comme le Cybersecurity Act ou encore le Cyber Resilience Act que nous avions déjà présenté dans un précédent Œil du gf2i. Avec ce nouveau projet, c’est 1,1 milliard d’euros que la Commission européenne va ajouter à son budget alloué à la cybersécurité qui commence véritablement à prendre de l’ampleur. L’UE s’étant déjà bien dotée en matière de cybersécurité sur les dernières années, il est nécessaire de compr[...]
: A perpetual question from clients is whether a new development should be protected by filing a patent application or kept as a trade secret? Patents are granted by national patent offices for new, useful and not obvious inventions. Patents require a full and public description of the idea and the details needed by a skilled person to put that idea into practice. For example, Section 27(3)(c) of the Patent Act requires that for machines, the patent “explain the principle of the machine and the best mode in which the inventor has contemplated the application of that principle”.

: Septembre 2024 / Compte rendu Pour la deuxième de ses Rencontres avec les Régulateurs, le gf2i a reçu le 26 septembre 2024, Régis CHATELLIER, Responsable d’études prospectives – Laboratoire d’innovation numérique de la CNIL pour un échange sur la mise en œuvre des dispositions du chapitre IV du DGA relatif à l’altruisme en matière de données. Régis CHATELLIER a tout d’abord mentionné le champ d’application du DGA et rappelé les différentes modalités d’utilisation des données traitées du règlement (UE) n° 2022/868 sur la gouvernance des données (Data Governance Act – DGA) en précisant qu’il n’a pas vocation à traiter de la protection de celles-ci (les règles sur la protection des données à caractère personnel s’appliquent de manière habituelles). L’échange a particulièrement porté sur : – la distinction entre le régime de l’altruisme de données – réservé à des utilisations à finalité d’intérêt général – et celui des intermédiaires de données et les éventuelles conséquences juridiques quant à l’exploitation de[...]
: FTC, Florida AG to small business: Scrutinize “o-fishy-al” invoices lfair July 30, 2018 | 11:05AM FTC, Florida AG to small business: Scrutinize “o-fishy-al” invoices By Lesley Fair If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. But the same can’t be said for a mailer that looks like an official invoice. It could be an “o- fishy -al” offer that deceptively mimics the appearance of a government document. A case filed by the FTC and the Florida Attorney General challenges the practice of sending mailers that allegedly create the false impression that small businesses are required to buy labor regulation posters from the sender. Consider what defendants Starwood Consulting, also doing business as Corporate Compliance Services, and company president Thomas Henry Fred, Jr., sent to small businesses. The mailers – which include a Washington, D.C., 202 area code – are titled “LABOR LAW COMPLIANCE REQUEST FORM” and include the warning “Failure to comply with posting regulations can lead to fine[...]
: FTC consumer protection year in review offers 2020 vision for your business lfair January 8, 2020 | 9:26AM FTC consumer protection year in review offers 2020 vision for your business By Lesley Fair They say hindsight is 20/20, but what about foresight? We’re not ones to prognosticate, but a look at notable FTC cases and initiatives from the past year suggests some topics likely to be top of mind in months to come. Here is a non-exhaustive list of issues in our 2019 rearview mirror and likely visible through the 2020 windshield. Consumer privacy. The FTC’s $5 billion enforcement action against Facebook made history and headlines, but the other notable part of the case is the monumental change the order mandates to Facebook’s privacy ecosystem. The Commission opinion in Cambridge Analytica reaffirms the proposition that like any other claim, a company’s privacy promises are viewed through the lens of established FTC consumer perception principles. A series of cases demonstrates the agency’s continued commitmen[...]
: First Consumer Review Fairness case takes on promoter’s “big bucks on Amazon” claim lfair August 6, 2018 | 11:11AM First Consumer Review Fairness case takes on promoter’s “big bucks on Amazon” claim By Lesley Fair T he marketers behind a purported money-making promotion called Sellers Playbook appear to have skipped the chapter about complying with federal and state consumer protection laws. That’s the allegation in a complaint filed by the FTC and the Minnesota Attorney General . In addition, it’s the FTC’s first case charg ing violations of the Consumer Review Fairness Act. The roots of the allegations go back to another venture sued by the FTC earlier this year: FBA Stores, also known as Amazing Wealth System and Amazon Wealth Systems. The defendants in that case ran online ads and in-person workshops that claimed to reveal the secret s of making major money on Amazon. But few, if any, of the consumers who forked over thousands of dollars and implemented their “plug-and-play systems” earn ed the kind of c[...]
: Nixing the Fix: Warranties, Mag-Moss, and restrictions on repairs lfair March 18, 2019 | 10:24AM Nixing the Fix: Warranties, Mag-Moss, and restrictions on repairs By Lesley Fair First, the bad news: That nifty purchase needs a repair. Now the good news for consumers: It’s still under warranty. But where can they go to get it fixed? Can the manufacturer restrict a consumer’s ability to go to the independent repair shop of their choice? Can the manufacturer use glue, non-standard screws, and proprietary diagnostic software that make it difficult for independent repair shops to fix things? Do limitations like these affect consumers’ rights under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act ? That’s the topic of Nixing the Fix: A Workshop on Repair Restrictions , an FTC event scheduled for July 16, 2019 . Enforced by the FTC, the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act helps consumers make informed buying decisions and gives them access to remedies if the widget starts to fidget during the warranty period. One key consumer protection unde[...]
