Address

U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse)
40 Foley Square, New York, NY 10007

Crowell & Moring New York counsel Anne Li and 2017 summer associates Brian McGrath and Greg Manring join the Hon. J. Paul Oetken of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and Stuart Pollack, Partner, DLA Piper, for a panel discussion hosted by the Honorable William C. Conner Inn of Court.


Session description:
Under the Supreme Court’s recent T.C. Heartland v. Kraft Foods Group Brands LLC decision, patent infringement actions can only be brought where a defendant has a “regular and established place of business.” Is this a new defense? Was it waived? What does a “regular and established place of business” mean anyway? Come join us for a mock oral argument on these pressing issues.  


A reception will follow.  


This program has been specifically designed to satisfy 1.0 NYS CLE Credit of transitional and non-transitional CLE credits for both newly admitted and experienced attorneys. The Honorable William C. Conner Inn of Court has been certified by the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board as an Accredited Provider of continuing legal education.
