Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE False Claims Webinar. With the growing number of lawsuits brought under the federal False Claims Act (FCA), the dispute over the use of statistical evidence to prove liability in FCA cases continues to spark interest among industry leaders, professionals, and litigators. The plaintiffs in these cases, including both the government and qui tam relators, routinely argue that the use of statistical evidence to prove liability should be allowed to avoid difficult and prolonged litigation. A number of recent court decisions have addressed the issue and reached different conclusions; thus, the battle over statistical evidence and how this evidence may be used in FCA cases will likely continue. It is therefore imperative to carefully consider the significant ramifications of employing statistical evidence in all stages of FCA litigation to avoid any legal risks and pitfalls.

In this Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an in-depth discussion of Statistical Evidence in False Claims Act Cases and will help the audience better understand all the important aspects of this significant topic.

Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE False Claims Webinar. In the past three years, the far-reaching implications of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2016 Escobar decision continue to impact the utilization of the implied false certification theory. While the doctrine’s viability was affirmed by the Court, its overall impact has been simultaneously limited because it has, at the same time, strengthened materiality requirements of FCA claims. The still-evolving contours of the implied certification doctrine present significant risk for companies that do regular business with government entities, who face the prospect of statutory damages as well as regulatory penalties for FCA violations.

In this LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide and present an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in the False Claims Act and the Implied Certification doctrine. Speakers will also present essential key compliance tools and its potential implications and in light of the recent developments.

https://www.theknowledgegroup.org/webcasts/lender-liability-in-commercial-and-residential-foreclosures/

Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE Lender Liability Webinar. Lender liability, in the context of foreclosing a mortgage, can arise in a number of ways, from inadequate evidence to support the cause of action to defenses to counterclaims alleging various state and federal causes of action. This program will address ways in which lenders can minimize their liability.

The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (PACA) creates a statutory trust in favor of unpaid suppliers of perishable fruits and vegetables who sell produce on credit to marketing companies, wholesalers, distributors, and even grocers and restaurants. The PACA subordinates a lender’s security interests in the trust assets of the buyer of the produce until the produce supplier has been paid in full for the produce sales. If the lender is paid first while produce suppliers are unpaid, a lender may be required to disgorge any monies received from its production company customer, not unless the lender can prove it was a bona fide purchaser for value.

This program will address the general nature and attributes of the PACA trust, the potential lender liability under the PACA for receipt of trust assets, the recovery of damages and other relief under the PACA, and practical steps for a lender to successfully do business with customers in the multi-billion dollar U.S. produce industry without unknowingly incurring lender liability under this important, industry-specific law.

https://www.theknowledgegroup.org/webcasts/obviousness-type-double-patenting/

Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE Double Patenting Webinar. The emergence of new court rulings in the U.S. and Canada continues to shape the applicability and scope of the obviousness-type double patenting (ODP) doctrine, which is meant to prevent patentees from unjustly extending patent rights by owning multiple patents on the same invention. Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued two significant decisions - Novartis AG v. Ezra Ventures LLC and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp. v. Breckenridge Pharmaceutical Inc. - which provide guidance on when ODP does not invalidate patent term extensions (PTEs). In Canada, where there is no terminal disclaimer, upcoming changes to the Patent Rules will impact procedures commonly used to prevent double patenting.

Counsel to patent applicants and owners should be in the know of the recent court rulings and other developments involving ODP to better manage potential threats and opportunities regarding patent term and validity.

This Webcast produced by The Knowledge Group will provide patent practitioners with an in-depth analysis of the evolving ODP landscape in the USA and Canada. They will examine the implications of recent U.S. Court rulings in Ezra and Breckenridge and other ODP updates while offering insights on how to best protect a client’s interests from significant ODP issues in the U.S. and Canada.

It is, therefore, imperative that counsel and employers remain vigilant for the emerging trends and developments relating to trade secrets and non-competition law to be able to ensure compliance.

In this Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the significant and latest issues in the evolving landscape of trade secret and non-competition Law.
