The global chemical industry has is facing several changes, domestically and abroad.
Milton Koch, International Trade Advisor, and Jonathan Spadt, Shareholder and Intellectual Property Section Co-chair, provide an overview of today’s shifting chemical industry landscape and how to effectively utilize intellectual property and trade enforcement tools to maintain a competitive market.
In Part One of this discussion, they cover China’s shift toward exporting specialty chemicals, the impact of European energy costs and regulatory hurdles, and the influence of US trade policies. Additionally, they cover ways to navigate these changes and legal mechanisms available to chemical producers, such as antidumping investigations.
Protecting intellectual property rights amid increasing international competition can also be done through Section 337 investigations, which they discuss further in Part Two.
