2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTThis session examines how plaintiff-side attorneys can build and support legal claims when AI shopping agents are banned or accounts are terminated by major platforms, with Amazon v. Perplexity (N.D. Cal., Judge Chesney, 2026) as the anchor case. Attorneys will analyze the CFAA authorization framework, state-law tort and contract claims, and emerging antitrust theories targeting platforms that block third-party agents while operating proprietary alternatives. Attendees will leave with a working understanding of claim selection, evidentiary preservation, damages quantification, and the unsettled legal questions that will be shaped by the pending Ninth Circuit appeal.
David W. Tollen 3:40 pm - 4:40 pm ESTThis session equips platform counsel with the drafting frameworks and incident response protocols needed to defend against unauthorized AI agent access in the wake of Amazon v. Perplexity. Attorneys will examine how Amazon’s layered ToS language, technical countermeasures, and escalation documentation secured a preliminary injunction under the CFAA and California’s CDAFA, and learn how to replicate that evidentiary foundation. Attendees will leave with actionable clause-level guidance for automated-access definitions, delegation authority limitations, agent identification requirements, and advertising integrity provisions, plus a step-by-step incident response playbook calibrated to current CFAA doctrine.
