SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Pandemic Fraud Update\, Part 1: Actions Against Fintechs and Banks
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) time zone** \nThis September\, the Qui Tam Section will present a two-part series on developments relating to pandemic relief fraud. \nOn Sept. 20\, 2023\, this first panel will examine DOJ’s response to date involving borrower liability as well as the possibility of DOJ action against financial institutions and fintechs that processed pandemic-relief loans.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Supreme Court’s Recent Trademark Cases
DESCRIPTION:The FBA’s Intellectual Property Law Section is hosting this CLE program regarding two of the Supreme Court’s Lanham Act decisions from the 2022 Term: \nThe U.S. Supreme Court’s Bad Spaniels Case\nOn June 8\, 2023\, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its long-awaited opinion in Jack Daniel’s Properties\, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC\, holding that parody trademarks do not receive special First Amendment protection when they function as trademarks.  This talk will review the decision and its possible implications for future parody trademarks\, as well as guidance gleaned from the concurring opinions regarding the use of brands in creative works and the use of surveys in litigation. \nAbitron Case Regarding Extraterritorial Application of the Lanham Act\nThis part of the program will discuss Abitron Austria GmbH v. Hetronic International\, Inc.\, issued June 29\, 2023\, in which the Supreme Court\, for the first time in seventy years\, has decided a case involving the extraterritorial application of the Lanham Act. In so doing\, it has resolved a circuit split on the applicability of the Lanham Act actions involving foreign conduct.  In Abitron\, the Court concluded that the Lanham Act applies only to domestic conduct and does not apply extraterritorially to purely foreign sales that never reached the United States or confused U.S. consumers. Abitron is an important case because of the Court’s restrained view on the extent to which a U.S. company may seek damages for exterritorial trademark infringement.  The talk will review the Court’s reasoning and speculate on the practical ramifications of the decision. \nPresented on behalf of the Intellectual Property Law Section.  \n\nAbout the Presenters\nModerator: Oliver A.

SUMMARY:Section on Taxation: New Guidance - Temporary Relief from Recent Regulations on Foreign Tax Creditability
DESCRIPTION:This panel will discuss IRS Notice 2023-55 and its impact on U.S. multinational entities. IRS Notice 2023-55 provides temporary relief for taxpayers determining whether a foreign tax is eligible for a foreign tax credit under sections 901 and 903. Section 901 allows a credit for foreign income\, war profits\, and excess profits taxes; section 903 allows a credit for taxes paid in lieu of a generally imposed foreign income\, war profits\, or excess profits tax. 2022 regulations revised the rules for determining whether a foreign levy is a creditable foreign income tax under sections 901 and 903. The temporary relief offered through IRS Notice 2023-55 allows taxpayers to apply certain portions to of the prior regulations under section 901 rather than the 2022 regulations\, and also turns off portions of the new regulations under section 903. This panel will discuss the implications of the notice and what companies can expect in the future. \n  \nPresented by the Section on Taxation \n\n \nPresenters\n\nTeisha Ruggiero\, Senior Counsel\, IRS Office of Chief Counsel\nDeborah Tarwasokono\, Attorney-Advisor\, Department of Treasury\nBrian Jenn\, Partner\, McDermott Will & Emery\nRay Stahl\, Principal\, EY\nMarissa Rensen\, Managing Director\, KPMG\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this webinar has closed.  \nRegistration Fees \n\nComplimentary for FBA Members & Non-Members\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLive Captioning: Closed captioning is available for all virtual webcasts. \n\n\nInternet Requirements: Virtual programs require suitable internet strength to stream online panels.
