International Trade and Antitrust — Clarity Put on Hold as FTAIA Conflict/Confusion Continues

The June 15, 2015, U.S. Supreme Court decision not to hear appeals in two major federal circuit decisions puts off, yet again, needed clarification of the FTAIA.

In this web conference, Foley Partners Melinda F. Levitt and Howard W. Fogt will outline current FTAIA issues and provide guidance on the present, confused state of the law on international trade and antitrust. Is the ball in Congress’ court?

Topics covered will be:

• The substantive or jurisdictional underpinnings of the FTAIA.


• What constitutes “import commerce”?


• How are “domestic effects” to be measured?


• When does challenged conduct “give rise to a claim” under the FTAIA?
