U.S. Discovery - Where the battle is often won or lost
A small medical device company in Ohio successfully defended its intellectual property against a Fortune 50 company. The dispute spanned 12 years and 2 oceans, and produced 3 separate settlements, totaling $7M, and a lengthy non-compete. Yet, the U.S. district court never made a single decision on the merits. How did this happen? It happened via the tactical advantages achieved through U.S. dicovery, with critical help supplied by parallel efforts in Germany.A team-taught course will give you the U.S. and the German perspectives on this case on 22-23 March 2007 in Salzburg at the Gersberg Alm, and will do so by using many practical examples, to explain topics such as:
- the extensive scope of U.S. discovery
- the use of protective orders to protect confidential information
- third party discovery and
- the availability of U.S. discovery for non-U.S. prodeedings.
