Keynote Panel: The API Copyright Emergency: What's Next?

The recent decision by the US Appellate Court in the case of Oracle v.
Google that APIs can be copyrighted has sent shockwaves through not just the
API Economy, but the entire technology industry. The decision has resulted
in widespread confusion about what the decision means, especially when it
comes to API fair use; a nuanced part of the ruling that was remanded back
to the Circuit Court for further deliberation. For this panel discussion
that we've scrambled together at the last minute, we've pulled together some
of the leading experts on the matter to debate the efficacy of the decision,
to help us understand what will or could happen next, and what action we
should be taking (or not taking) now.
