Open source software movements initiated about two decades ago. Embodied by events like the IBM acquisition of the open source icon Red Hat, one of the current trends in open source is the large scale, enterprise-level IT service business.

The Intellectual Property Law Society invites you to a panel and discussion on current anti-counterfeiting measures in different intellectual property industries.

Panelists: 

Alex Bamiagis, Attorney-Advisor, Office of Trade, U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Aryn Emert, Assistant General Counsel at CBS Corporation

Dwana Dixon, Associate, Epstein Drangel

Kerry Brownlee, Associate, Epstein Drangel 

The discussion will focus on the status of extraterritoriality and the divergent circumstantial treatment that the Courts have given extraterritoriality in the United States. More specifically, there has been a trend that Courts are usually more comfortable applying United States law extraterritorially when issues of criminal law and national security are at stake, yet usually decide in the opposite direction when faced with the extraterritorial application of US civil law or human rights obligations. 

The symposium will have three panels, with the first two showcasing pending litigation in SCOTUS to illustrate this point, and the third will be a scholarly discussion of this phenomenon generally.
