Client Alert | less than 1 min read | 01.09.15
On December 11, 2014, DoD issued a final rule to instruct COs to request that contractors submit a Forward Pricing Rate Proposal "Adequacy Checklist" when submitting their FPRP. Under the rule, both the FPRP and the Adequacy Checklist are due at least 90 days before the proposed effective date of the rates, and DoD cautioned that "the proposed rates are based on forecasts and contractors must provide updates whenever the validity of the agreement may be affected."

District Court Grants Preliminary Injunction Against Seller of Gray Market Snack Food Products
On November 12, 2025, Judge King in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington granted in part Haldiram India Ltd.’s (“Plaintiff” or “Haldiram”) motion for a preliminary injunction against Punjab Trading, Inc. (“Defendant” or “Punjab Trading”), a seller alleged to be importing and distributing gray market snack food products not authorized for sale in the United States. The court found that Haldiram was likely to succeed on the merits of its trademark infringement claim because the products at issue, which were intended for sale in India, were materially different from the versions intended for sale in the U.S., and for this reason were not genuine products when sold in the U.S. Although the court narrowed certain overbroad provisions in the requested order, it ultimately enjoined Punjab Trading from importing, selling, or assisting others in selling the non-genuine Haldiram products in the U.S. market.
