Webinar: Antitrust Analysis in Two-Sided Markets
The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Ohio v. American Express, in which the Court held that AmEx’s anti-steering provisions do not violate the antitrust laws, was closely watched and elicited strong reactions on both sides. While some celebrated the decision’s recognition of two-sided “transaction platforms” as a relevant market with distinct characteristics and concerns, others criticized it as an unwarranted departure from traditional rule of reason analysis. This panel discussion will explore the treatment of two-sided markets in antitrust law, with an emphasis on how the AmEx decision has been interpreted by courts and invoked by litigants thus far and how it is likely to shape legal theories and analysis in antitrust cases going forward.

Webinar: Practical Impact of SCOTUS’s decision in Helsinn v. Teva on Secret Sales
In Helsinn Healthcare S.A. v. Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc., the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Federal Circuit’s interpretation of the “on sale bar” — holding that “Congress did not alter the meaning of ‘on sale’ when it enacted the AIA.” In so doing, the Supreme Court answered affirmatively that a secret sale of an invention, or a sale of a technology under terms that require the invention to remain confidential, is barred under 35 U.S.C. § 102(a)(1), thereby preventing the invention from being patented. In this webinar, our panelists will weigh in on the impact of this decision and offer practical pointers to stakeholders and practitioners when dealing with secret, on-sale offers, activities, or commercialization.
