On Tuesday, Feb. 11 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. in Orlando, at the premier event for HVACR professionals, Wil Rao will speak about trade secret protection in HVACR. Trade secret programs require strategic planning/implementation across organizations. With today’s increased employee mobility, ease of data transfer, potential FTC-driven changes on noncompetes, and the 301 report from the U.S. government on countries that don't provide adequate protection of intellectual property (IP) rights, trade secrets have risen to the forefront of strategic needs. Wil’s session explores trade secret protection/enforcement, when to utilize trade secrets versus patents, trade secret strategy, and other “musts” in order to maintain the confidentiality, and value, of your HVACR IP.

On Dec. 30, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the April 2023 District Court opinion in favor of McAndrews client Accord Healthcare, Inc. Accord filed an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) for approval to market a generic version of Purdue Pharma’s OxyContin® branded extended release oxycodone hydrochloride tablets. Purdue Pharma alleged that Accord’s proposed ANDA product would infringe five Purdue patents if marketed. Accord asserted that each of the five patents was invalid. The Federal Circuit issued a decision siding with Accord, invalidating all of the asserted claims of the five Purdue patents. Accord is represented by Alejandro Menchaca, Ben Mahon, and Bradley Loren. #IntellectualProperty #IPLaw #IP

Sandra Frantzen has made significant professional contributions through her patent litigation work, worldwide IP portfolio management in fields such as medical devices, pharmaceuticals, consumer products, and biotechnology, as well as her advocacy for the Arab American legal community. These accomplishments, and more, are highlighted by the University of Chicago Law School in this special feature. #IntellectualProperty #IPLaw #IP
“The faculty invited challenges and welcomed examining all facets of an issue, and we students knew that accepting intellectual challenges from each other was part of the culture. It was marvelous,” Sandra Frantzen, ’99 said. She didn’t set out to become a lawyer. Her college degrees were in chemistry and environmental science; she had her eyes set on medical school. It wasn’t until college that she got to know someone who was a lawyer, and that relationship inspired her. “I felt like I could have a chance to do interesting work, perhaps make a difference in the world—and debate important things, which I have always loved to do,” she said. https://buff.ly/4gnmUvL
