2021 Year of the Knockoff - Apparel & Footwear Roundtable
Webinar | 10.26.21, 12:00 PM UTC - 1:00 PM UTC
Combine the COVID-19 pandemic with the already exponential rise in e-commerce, and what do you get? Innovation? Sure. Imitation? Absolutely. With it harder than ever to touch and experience products before purchase during the pandemic, 2021 is poised to be the "Year of the Knockoff."
Following on Crowell & Moring’s 2021: Year of the Knockoff webinar earlier this year, join us for a panel discussion with members of the fashion industry to discuss specific trends in counterfeit products, concerns all members of the industry may be facing, and strategies for countering them at the U.S. International Trade Commission and beyond.

The federal government has identified purported ‘waste, fraud, and abuse’ in small business programs as a major focus of its current enforcement efforts. As it relates to federal procurement, we have seen audits and investigations rolled out not only of active participants in the Small Business Administration’s 8(a) Business Development Program but also reviews of various types of small business contracts (such as 8(a) sole source and set-aside awards, preference-based awards, and small business set-aside awards over particular values). Join Crowell & Moring as we discuss what aspects of contract performance and teaming arrangements are being scrutinized (e.g., size/status eligibility, limitations on subcontracting compliance, reasonableness of market rates, etc.) and how these considerations can impact both small government contractors holding the prime contracts under review and their subcontractors.
