Proposed NRO Clause Would Require Broad Disclosure -- Comments Due Tomorrow
Client Alert | 1 min read | 02.12.04
The proposal of the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) to add a new standard clause to its contracts that would provide that "contractors and their employees, agents, representatives, subcontractors, and employees of subcontractors shall report to the NRO Inspector General (IG) or General Counsel any and all possible violations of federal criminal law or illegal intelligence activities of which they become aware during performance under an NRO contract," make all relevant records and employees available to the IG (failure to do so grounds for default termination), and flow the clause down to subcontractors raises obvious and serious policy issues. The request for comments are due tomorrow, February 13, despite only being published on February 4, on the NRO website, where the full text of the proposed clause is available.

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.
