Current State of International Trade - Federal Circuit Bar Association

Patrick Keane, executive shareholder, and Randolph Stayin, senior trade counsel, will present "Current State of International Trade" during the Federal Circuit Bar Association's Global Intellectual Property, International Trade, and Legislative Developments program on April 15. 

The treatment of confidential and other information is going through transition. The CIT recently issued a decision on BPI information in an ITC case. The Federal Circuit issued its decision in Royal Brush about the agency’s authority to issue protective orders. The Federal Circuit has also recently changed its court rules about using confidential information in briefs. The panel will discuss these recent events through the lens of trade and customs practice in the CIT and Federal Circuit.
