各セッションの概要について
Session Title: The Discovery of Electronically Stored Information:
Speaker: Mr. Adam Landa, Shareholder - Greenberg Traurig LLP:
Adam Landa, the chair of Greenberg Traurig's eDiscovery & eRetention practice group will speak about the obligation to identify, preserve, and potentially provide your electronically stored information in connection with US litigation.
Session Title: Managing the Burden of Responding to Discovery for Japanese Companies Involved in a U.S. Investigation
Speakers: Mr. Arman Oruc, Partner - Washington D.C. office; Ms. Kathryn McCarthy, New York office, Noritaka Kumamoto and Ikuko Horikawa - Tokyo office; Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP
Synopsis:Attorneys from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett will discuss how Japanese companies involved with government investigations can most efficiently and cost effectively manage this discovery process in the United States. The presentation will outline a practical approach from document collection through document review, translation and production.
Session Title: "Defending Japanese Companies in Class Action and Other Major Litigation in the United States"
Speaker: Philip R. Sellinger, Managing Shareholder, New Jersey office of Greenberg Traurig, LLP."
Synopsis: Mr. Sellinger will discuss the unique challenges presented by putative class action suits and other complex or high-dollar litigation brought against Japanese companies and their subsidiaries in the United States, and optimal strategies for defending and managing such litigation. He will provide an overview of the United States litigation system, how class actions and other complex cases "work" and fit within the system, and the types of claim usually asserted and relief typically requested in such cases. Mr. Sellinger will pay particular attention to the discovery process as a source of information gathering by the parties and its breadth, focusing on efforts to seek documents and testimony from non-party parent and related corporations based in Japan. He will also discuss reducing the overall costs of litigation, and will survey a series of best practices designed to keep such costs under control. Mr. Sellinger will provide his insights on the most effective means to assure victory, and how early decisions in the litigation such as initial case analyses, choice of forum, and strategic use of motion practice can improve the chances for a successful outcome. He will conclude with a discussion of the difficulties faced in U.S. litigation that are peculiar to non-U.S. companies, and will provide critical suggestions for avoiding litigation when a problem first presents itself to the company.
Session Title: Adapting to the New Era of International Antitrust Enforcement: Practical Considerations for an Effective Compliance Program
Speaker: Chris Wood, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
Synopsis: Antitrust agencies around the world are taking an increasingly aggressive posture toward enforcement, with many recent examples of record-breaking fines and investigations focusing on core business activities such as discounting and licensing practices. This program will highlight recent enforcement trends and offer practical suggestions for in-house counsel in implementing antitrust compliance programs.
Session Title: Making and Defending Against Patent Infringement Charges in the U.S. International Trade Commission
Speaker: Michael Dzwonczyk, Partner, Washington D.C. office, Sughrue Mion PLLC
Synopsis: This session will highlight the differences between litigating patent infringement disputes in the United States District Courts and the United States International Trade Commission ("ITC"). The session will discuss: (1) how to choose whether to litigate in District Court or the ITC; (2) the strategic differences in defending against a claim of infringement in each court; (3) the unique remedies available at the ITC; and (4) the procedural differences between each forum, with an emphasis on efficiently managing discovery in each court.
Session Title: Improving the Cost-Effectiveness of U.S. Patent Litigation: How to Reduce or Limit Legal Fees and Still Improve Your Chances for Success.
Speaker: Steven Routh, Partner Washington D.C, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP
Synopsis: Particularly in light of the continuing growth in the volume of U.S. patent litigation initiated by patent trolls, it is essential that companies and their legal counsel make informed and intelligent decisions at a very early stage of each case concerning the strengths and weaknesses of the case and what strategy makes most sense for obtaining a successful outcome. A company can both save money and improve its likelihood of success if it is able to distinguish at the outset strong cases from weaker cases and to develop strategies that are well-matched to each new case. Mr. Routh will discuss how to evaluate a new case, establish objectives for a successful outcome, and work with legal counsel to prepare a sound strategy for achieving those objectives in a cost-effective manner. He also will discuss options for reducing legal fees in multi-defendant litigation by coordinating efforts among parties that have the same or similar interests in the litigation. Finally, he will comment on how to work effectively with U.S. law firms to develop positive relationships and ensure excellent representation in U.S. patent litigation.
