Webcast URL: https://www.theknowledgegroup.org/webcasts/section-956-proposed-regulations/

Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CPE Section 956 Webinar. In October 2018, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued proposed regulations that would exempt certain U.S. controlled foreign corporation (CFC) shareholders from Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 956 deemed dividend rules.

Although the proposed regulations favor many corporate taxpayers, one must not forget that section 956 still applies. Moreover, not all CFC shareholders covered by section 956 can claim the benefits of the new participation exemption. Inaction in the U.S. Congress is also limiting the scope of the relief provided by the proposed rules. This poses potential pitfalls for the unwary.

In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview to help you understand the critical elements of the proposed Section 956 regulations and its potential effects on corporate taxpayers. Speakers will also offer the best strategies on how to maximize the potentials of and mitigate the risks posed by the new participation exemption.

Webcast URL: https://www.theknowledgegroup.org/webcasts/entire-fair-market-value-rule-in-patent-damages/

Join us for this Knowledge Group Online CLE Patent Damages Webinar. Under patent infringement, apportionment and the Entire Market Value Rule (“EMVR”) are important considerations when quantifying damages, both in reasonable royalty and lost profits damages contexts. The Federal Circuit’s decision in Power Integrations v. Fairchild Semiconductor International explained that “[i]f the product has other valuable features that also contribute to driving consumer demand—patented or unpatented—then the damages for patent infringement must be apportioned to reflect only the value of the patented feature. This is so whenever the claimed feature does not define the entirety of the commercial product.”

Given the exceedingly sophisticated technological nature of certain products addressed in patent infringement cases, companies and their counsel need to remain informed of the manner in which the courts are addressing the issues of apportionment and the EMVR.

Join a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they provide the audience with an overview of the objective of apportionment, a historical perspective on various apportionment methods that have been applied, and observations from selected court cases addressing apportionment and the EMVR.
