Hi. This is Mark Lemley from Stanford Law School and you are listening to IP Fridays.
KS: Hello and welcome to this episode of IP Fridays. Our names are Ken Suzan and Rolf Claessen and this is THE podcast dedicated to Intellectual Property. It does not matter where you are from, in-house or private practice, novice or expert, we will help you stay up-to-date with current topics in the fields of trademarks, patents, design and copyright, discover useful tools and much more.
RC: Welcome to Episode 28 of IP Fridays. Both Ken and I returned home safely from San Diego where the INTA meeting was held in the beginning of May. We had a fantastic IP Fridays meet-up with listeners and also guests of the show. We would like to find some pictures and post them when this episode is published. During this meet-up we tried to get some ideas for topics that could be part of the future IP Fridays episodes. We got a suggestion from our listener, Ed Timberlake, who actually was also a guest on the show a while back. Ed suggested that listeners and guests of the show could actually conduct their own interviews with interesting people in the field of Intellectual Property and then send it to us and we would include that into future episodes. We are very excited about this idea and maybe before you conduct an interview, let us know so that we can talk about the technical infrastructure, you know, what kind of recording devices we use to achieve the best possible audio quality. Besides that, we are very happy to have your interviews featured on our show so feel free to think about this possibility and let us know ahead of time if you want to interview someone.
Since Ken and I both attended the INTA meeting in San Diego, we took the chance to have a photo shoot of the two of us so we are actually posting some pictures to the show notes of this episode. If you want to see pictures of the two of us, you can head over to www.ipfridays.com and just go to the show notes of the latest episode. I will try to work on the cover art and pictures on our different social media channels to update them with the new photos of the two of us.
Our interview guest for today’s show is Annamarie Daley. She is a partner in the Minneapolis office of Barnes & Thornburg LLP and she serves as a co-chair of the firm’s Antitrust and Competition Law Practice Groups. Since she was frequently involved in IP cases involving foreign parties, she will tell us about the specialties that have to be considered and trends with these kinds of IP lawsuits involving foreign parties.
Before we jump into the interview, I just want to let you know that the Unites States of America and Japan can now be designated in the International Design Application of the Hague System. As you might know from the episode of two weeks ago, the Hague System administered by WIPO allows applicants from all over the world to file design applications in many countries. So you can file one application and designate a multitude of countries and also regions like the EU. The United States of America and Japan have ratified everything and as of May 13, 2015 it is possible to designate these two new countries which are probably quite significant for many applicants. If you want to learn more about the particular requirements for the Hague System applications designating the U.S.,
