ITC – Section 337

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) is an increasingly popular venue for patent infringement litigation. More and more companies are seeking to halt importations of infringing products into the United States by turning to the ITC for expedited relief. Section 337 investigations conducted by the ITC provide complainants with a “fast track” to remedy IP matters that typically go to trial within 10 months.

International Trade

International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives.

Conor Reidy Discusses State Uniform Antitrust Pre-Merger Notification Laws with Private Funds CFO

Winston & Strawn partner Conor Reidy was quoted in a Private Funds CFO article discussing new antitrust pre-merger notification laws enacted by the states of Colorado and Washington. Under these laws, any company required to file for Federal Trade Commission or Department of Justice antitrust division merger review under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act that does sizable business in a given state must file with the state’s antitrust enforcers for review. The pre-merger notification laws aren’t oppressive on their own, but Conor noted that they remain a latent threat, especially if state attorneys general begin to feel that the federal antitrust enforcers aren’t doing enough to protect competition....Read more
