The FAR Regulators Enter the Cyber Fray
Client Alert | 1 min read | 08.28.12
On the heels of the latest demise of cyber legislation, the FAR Council has proposed new cybersecurity regulations for safeguarding government information ("other than public information") residing on or transiting through contractors' systems. While lacking some of the detail (such as certain NIST standards) contained in a predecessor proposal by DOD, the proposed FAR rule establishes broad requirements for basic cybersecurity safeguards for "all Federal contractors and appropriate subcontractors," including mandates for (1) "the best level of security and privacy available, given facilities, conditions, and environment"; (2) "at least one physical and one electronic barrier" for such information; (3) "sanitization" prior to disposal of information and electronic media; and (4) "intrusion protection," such as "updated malware protection services."

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.
