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:Alaska Chapter: Supreme Court Roundup
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Alaska Lawyers Chapter and the Federal Bar Association (Alaska Chapter) for its first annual Supreme Court Roundup to discuss the blockbuster cases—and other interesting cases—from the Supreme Court’s past term. We are pleased to be joined by Kannon Shanmugam\, widely recognized as one of the top Supreme Court litigators in the country\, having argued 36 cases before the Court. Among other interesting cases from last term\, Kannon will explore the Supreme Court’s affirmative action decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard\, the voting rights decision in Allen v. Milligan\, the student-loan forgiveness case in Biden v. Nebraska\, and the religious liberty case in 303 Creative v. Elenis. \n\nPresenter\nKannon Shanmugam\nPartner\, Paul\, Weiss\, Rifkind\, Wharton & Garrison LLP \nChair of the Supreme Court and Appellate Litigation Practice and managing partner of the Washington office\, Kannon Shanmugam is widely recognized as one of the nation’s top appellate lawyers. Kannon has argued 36 cases before the Supreme Court\, including 28 cases in private practice. He has also argued over 100 appeals in courts across the country\, including arguments in all thirteen federal courts of appeals and in numerous state courts. One study found that\, over a five-year period\, Kannon had the highest rate of successful petitions for review of any Supreme Court practitioner. He was lead counsel in the successful constitutional challenge to the structure of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau\, described by the Wall Street Journal as the “constitutional case of the year.” This year alone\, he successfully overturned the certification of a $13 billion securities class action arising out of the 2008 financial crisis (ATRS v. Goldman Sachs); he successfully defended the settlement of what is believed to be the largest private antitrust settlement in history (Fikes Wholesale v. HSBC Bank USA); and he successfully overturned a $570 million damages award in a high-profile trade-secrets case (Syntel v. TriZetto). Prior to private practice\, Kannon served as an Assistant to the Solicitor General at the U.S. Department of Justice. He also served as a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and to Judge J. Michael Luttig of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. \n\nRegistration\nRegister Online by Monday\, September 11.\nhttps://fedsoc.org/events/supreme-court-term-review-1 \n$20 Fee (Lunch Provided) \n\n\nQuestions regarding this event should be directed to Sarah Schirack (sschirack@perkinscoie.com)

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.
