RopesTalk

Join Ropes & Gray’s life sciences and health care attorneys on a four-part podcast series exploring regulatory, compliance and enforcement changes emanating from Washington, D.C. and the potential impact on life sciences companies in 2023. This first episode will focus on key developments from 2022 that we expect to continue to be significant in 2023.

In this episode of There Has to Be a Better Way?, co-hosts Zach Coseglia and Hui Chen interview their colleague at R&G Insights Lab, Dr. Caitlin Handron, about cultural psychology, her field of study. She discusses how cultural factors influence human behavior and how integrating insights from the social sciences can help companies tackle organizational challenges—from compliance programs to diversity, equity and inclusion—in more effective ways.

Over the past few decades, the ITC has become increasingly focused on intellectual property—and specifically patent—disputes between domestic companies. According to some legislators and commentators, this shift has led the application of Section 337 astray from its original intent: adjudicating unfair trade practices in the importation of goods from foreign countries. Thus, over the past decade, there have been a number of proposed tweaks to Section 337, or the ITC more generally, to address issues like alleged non-practicing entity abuse of the ITC or alleged unfair trade practices implemented by China, such as forced technology transfer. In this episode of Talkin’ Trade, Ropes & Gray IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Matt Shapiro, Brendan McLaughlin, and Nancy Attalla discuss some of the recent proposals and how they would change Section 337 practice.
