Ross Greenspan Discusses Private Equity Continuation Vehicles with Cash and Carried
Winston & Strawn’s Ross Greenspan was quoted in a Cash and Carried article examining the rapid growth of continuation vehicles (CVs) and their evolving role in private equity liquidity and GP‑LP alignment. Most CV transactions allow existing LPs to choose from several options, including a full sale for liquidity, a reinvestment into the CV, or a combination of the two through a partial option. A subset of deals extend a “status quo option,” permitting LPs to stay in the existing vehicle or roll into the CV on the same economic terms of the existing vehicle.

What Is the Domestic Industry Requirement?
The domestic industry requirement for Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) mandates that a complainant asserting patent infringement at the ITC, or complainant’s licensee, has made in the United States significant investments in plant and equipment, significant investments in labor or capital, or substantial investments in engineering, research and development, or licensing. The investments must further be directed to articles that practice a valid claim of the asserted patent. The investment component of the requirement is referred to as the “economic prong,” while the requirement that the article practices the asserted patent is referred to as the “technical prong.” The domestic industry requirement is codified in 19 U.S.C. § 1337(a)(2)-(3).

What Is the Equal Rights Amendment?
Currently, the Constitution does not guarantee that all the rights it protects are held equally by all citizens without regard to sex. With 24 words, the Equal Rights Amendment would change that. It would provide that “[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” It would also give Congress the power to enforce that constitutional guarantee by passing legislation.

These laws are also commonly referred to as the Jones Act. One of these coastwise laws, the Passenger Vessel Services Act, reserves the transportation of passengers between U.S. ports, or points, to qualified U.S.-flag vessels.
