October 31, 2024
12:30pm – 1:30 pm
Live Webinar
1.0 Transitional/Non-transitional credit in Areas of Professional Practice
Preeminent Intellectual Property Lawyer Joe DeMarco interviews trial counsel Matthew Sloan of Skadden Arps on Skadden’s successful defense of Chinese semi-conductor manufacturer Fujian Jinhua Integrated Circuit Co. against criminal charges that Jinhua conspired to commit economic espionage and trade secret theft by stealing trade secrets for DRAM chips from US-based Micron Technologies. Skadden prevailed in a nine-week bench trial against the government in the lead case for the DOJ’s now-discontinued China Initiative. The program will provide a ground-level view of the legal and factual intricacies, and practical challenges, of prosecuting and defending these complex public policy related enforcement cases.
