Market Data Pricing and the S.E.C.
Pricing for data from the U.S. equities exchanges is under the oversight of the Securities and Exchange Commission. This session will provide attendees a greater understanding of the SEC process and the requirements placed on exchanges as well as provide an update on the recent activity in this arena. Specific emphasis is placed on the NetCoalition v. Securities and Exchange Commission litigation and a look at the nature of ‘competitive forces', the impact of Dodd-Frank, and what role ‘cost-based' factors should have in determining whether exchange fees are ‘fair and reasonable'.

Direct Market Access --- Past, Present and Future
With advancements in technology and the increasing movement toward lower latency trading, Direct Market Access (DMA) has become more popular among market participants. This session will provide a tutorial on what constitutes DMA, who participates and why they participate. In addition, recent and pending changes in market access implemented by the SEC and CFTC will be examined.

Misappropriation of 'Hot News'
The Internet and new digital distribution technologies make it easier than ever to copy someone else's data and disseminate it as their own. Copyright and trademark laws don't always prohibit such acts. As a result, lawyers have dusted off the cob webs of a century-old legal doctrine handed down by the Supreme Court that was rarely ever been raised until fairly recently. The doctrine is called "Hot News Misappropriation," and it is being used more and more by publishers, database and financial information providers and others to protect themselves from those who take the results of their hard work and "free-ride" on their costly efforts to generate and collect timely information. This portion of the program will provide an overview and update on recent legal action involving Hot News Misappropriation, which has affected many FISD members as both potential plaintiffs and defendants.
Keith Kupferschmid - General Counsel and SVP, Intellectual Property SIIA
