2/5. The Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) announced in a release that it has "approved a settlement agreement entered into by Staff of the Commission and Research In Motion Limited, James Balsillie, Mike Lazaridis, Dennis Kavelman, Angelo Loberto, Kendall Cork, Douglas Wright, James Estill, and Douglas Fregin".

These individuals are current or former officers, directors, and/or founders of Research in Motion (RIM), maker of Blackberry products.

This Settlement Agreement [39 pages in PDF] states that it pertains to "stock options granting practices at RIM which, over a ten year period from December 1996 to July 2006 ..., were inconsistent with the terms of RIM's stock option plan and with RIM’s public disclosure".

This included the "practice of pricing an option at a date earlier than the grant date permitted by a stock option plan when the market price of the shares was lower than it was on the actual grant date".

It also included "the practice of altering an option’s exercise price by changing the purported grant date from the date the option was actually granted to a later date, or reissuing options at a later date and cancelling an earlier grant, when the market price of the underlying stock is lower."

The agreement further states that the "benefit resulting from the Incorrect Dating Practices for all employees was approximately $66 million, of which approximately $33 million has not been reimbursed or repaid to RIM or otherwise forfeited or cancelled".

The agreement states that "Balsillie, Lazaridis and Kavelman undertake to contribute $38.3 million (which includes interest of $5.3 million) to RIM in respect of the outstanding benefit arising from incorrectly priced stock options granted to all employees from 1996 to 2006." (Parentheses in original. Amounts are in Canadian Dollars.)

Also, "Balsillie, Lazaridis and Kavelman undertake to contribute $44.8 million to RIM to defray costs incurred by RIM in the investigation and remediation of stock options granting practices and related governance practices at RIM, which will be reduced by $15 million as credit for amounts already paid by Balsillie and Lazaridis in respect of costs incurred."

Finally, the agreement provides for penalties to be paid to the OSC totaling $9 Million.

RIM stated in a release that it has "made an offer of settlement" to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) "to resolve the SEC's separate investigation".

It adds that "RIM has been informed that Messrs. Balsillie, Lazaridis, Kavelman and Loberto have similarly made offers of settlement. The proposed settlements are subject to approval by the Commissioners of the SEC. The staff of the SEC's Division of Enforcement ("SEC Staff") has agreed to recommend that the Commissioners approve the proposed settlements".

1/28. The U.S. Court of Appeals (4thCir) issued its opinion [40 pages in PDF] in Rein v. USPTO, a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regarding records related to the patent litigation between NTP, Inc. and Research In Motion Ltd. (RIM).

This opinion sets precedent for FOIA procedure in the context of USPTO patent reexaminations. It addresses what should be in the USPTO Vaughn indices to support its claims of exemptions, such as deliberative process or attorney client privilege. The Court of Appeals also addressed various FOIA exemptions in the context of USPTO reexaminations. The FOIA is codified at 5 U.S.C. § 552.

In the end, the Court of Appeals faulted the USPTO for failure to provide in Vaughn indices documents' authors or recipients, and "salient information by which the district court can independently assess the asserted privilege". Without these, the District Court could not assess the claimed exemptions.

Bert Rein is a name partner in the Washington DC law firm of Wiley Rein. The other plaintiff, Hunton & Williams (HW), is a law firm. They represent NTP in the patent litigation. Rein and HW each requested documents regarding the USPTO's reexamination of NTP patents. The USPTO produced some documents, but withheld others, asserting exemptions from disclosure.

Rein and HW filed complaints, which were consolidated in the U.S. District Court (EDVa), against the USPTO, alleging violation of the FOIA, in connection with its alleged withholding of documents.

The District Court granted summary judgment to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). It held that the USPTO conducted an adequate search, and that the withheld or redacted items were "predecisional" and "deliberative", and thus exempt under 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(5).

The Court of Appeals affirmed in part and reversed in part. It affirmed the summary judgment as to the adequacy of the USPTO's search, but found that "some of the Vaughn index entries were insufficient to permit the district court, or this Court, to properly assess the Agencies' claimed exemptions from FOIA disclosure", and hence, reversed in part.

This case is Bert Rein and Hunton & Williams v. USPTO, U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, App. Ct. No. 07-1738, an appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, D.C. No. 1:06-cv-00615-CMH, Judge Claude Hilton presiding. Judge Agee wrote the opinion of the Court of Appeals, in which Judges Wilkinson and John Copenhaver (USDC/SDWV) joined.

1/29. McAfee released a report [36 pages in PDF] titled "Unsecured Economies: Protecting Vital Information". It is subtitled "The first global study highlighting the vulnerability of the world’s intellectual property and sensitive information". It is available for download, for free, with registration.

This report finds that "The global economic crisis is poised to create a perfect information security risk storm, as increased pressures on firms to reduce spending and cut staffing lead to more porous defenses and increased opportunities for cybercriminals."

It elaborates that "Insider threats will still be a concern, and mass layoffs will incite a percentage of previously loyal employees to look at criminal activity. These economic realities could tempt an increasing number of financially strapped and laid-off employees to use their corporate data access to steal vital information."

It adds that "Data thefts by insiders tend to have greater financial impact given the higher level of data access."

"The insiders who steal data do so in some cases for financial gain, but for others, it's a way to improve their job opportunities with the competition." The report also states that "They may also start companies of their own with the insight they gain."

The report also finds that "Cyberthieves have moved beyond basic hacking and stealing of credit card data and personal credentials. An emerging target is intellectual property."

"Pakistan, China and Russia, in that order, were also perceived to have the worst reputations for pursuing or investigating security incidents. Respondents cited corruption among law enforcement and the legal systems as well as poor skills among law enforcement as top reasons for the reputation rating."

2/6. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave a speech on economics, technology and policy on February 6, 2009. He spoke at the House Democratic Caucus retreat in Williamsburg, Virginia, held on February 5-7, 2009.

He addressed the recent and future role of information technology in the world economy. He also addressed business cycles, with frequent reference to the nature and causes of business downturns in the last two centuries.

He supports a legislative stimulus package. He advocated a reduction of private debt relative to gross domestic product (GDP). He urged the federal government to spend more on research and development spending, improving math and science education, and healthcare IT.

Ballmer (at right) said that "incredible global growth" in the past 25 years has come from "innovation, globalization, and debt". He praised the first two, but that said that there is now too much debt.

He said that "three things need to happen. First, the economy must be deleveraged. Private debt as a percentage of GDP has to be reduced. Restoring health to the nation's financial system is a fundamental part of this."

Second, "confidence must be restored. The stimulus package, in my opinion, is vital."

Third, "America really has to return to growth that's built on innovation and productivity, rather than leverage and private debt."

Education Spending. He said that "the time has come when we need to renew our innovation capacity". He continued that "it's people who turn ideas into positive and productive innovation. And in today's knowledge-driven world, innovation will depend on people who are actually technologically sophisticated, have strong critical thinking skills, have expertise in math and science and engineering.

This, said Ballmer, "means investment in education is critical, and I'm really encouraged by the very heavy emphasis on education that's in the stimulus package". 

He added that "We really need to transform math and science education in America. We need to improve teacher training, teacher quality."

He also said that "For those who are already in the workforce, we need programs that provide ongoing education and training, so they can be successful in this knowledge-based economy. For those who are unemployed, we need new technical skills training to give those people a start back up the economic ladder. And we are going to need lifelong learning programs to keep people fresh, as innovation and technology continues to power the economy."

Research Spending. Ballmer said that "we need greater government investment in our nation's science and technology infrastructure ... Science and technology is the backbone for productivity and innovation".

He lamented that "Government investment in science and engineering as a percentage of GDP is half, in this country, what it was in 1970".

"We need to pursue breakthroughs over the coming years in green technology, alternative energy, bioengineering, parallel computing, quantum computing.  Without greater government investment in the basic research, there is a danger that important advances will happen in other countries."

He continued that "This is truly I think not only an issue of competitiveness, but also in a sense of national security. Companies like ours and others can do our fair share in terms of funding of basic research, but government needs to take the lead."

He did not address the R&D tax credit.

Healthcare IT Spending. He next said that "government should invest ... in information technology to help transform healthcare. We deliver information technology that we think can help create a connected health system that delivers predictive, preventive, and personalized care, a system that I think can improve the health of Americans and reduce the cost of health care in this country."

Broadband Spending. Ballmer said little about broadband.

He said "There's always broadband. My number one encouragement to you is start with government itself. Every school, every hospital, every government building, is it wired, have we funded that infrastructure; very important."

While Ballmer said that "globalization" has been one of the causes of economic growth in recent decades, he did not aggravate his Democratic audience by elaborating upon free trade or free trade agreements.

2/6. David Becker was named General Counsel and Senior Policy Director of the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC), effective later this month.

2/6. Ed Black, head of the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA), stated in a release that "In an economy where companies' assets are becoming more and more ideas-based, the basic science research to generate these new ideas is critical. Having more federal basic research that can eventually help companies generate uses for that science and products is an economic stimulus measure with tangible economic rewards".

2/5. Anna Gomez, who was named Deputy Administrator of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) on February 4, 2009, and hence, is acting head of the NTIA, stated in a release [PDF] that "The DTV Delay Act is good for the American people. It acknowledges the need for more time so we can give the American consumers the assistance they need to acquire coupons and the importance of giving the public safety community access to additional spectrum to improve communications ... If NTIA receives additional budget authority for the TV Converter Box Coupon Program, our first priority will be to provide coupons for those households currently on the waiting list, as well as maximize further distribution of coupons." Such funding is in HR 1 [LOC | WW].
