In addition to the very significant differences in the statutes of limitation, other significant differences include: Some states have not recognized a cause of action for negligent interference with an economic advantage; Negligent misrepresentation in one state is limited to claims against persons in the business of supplying information to others; One state recognizes a cause of action for strict responsibility misrepresentation; Another state recognizes claims of prima facie tort for wrongs that do not fit into traditional tort categories; And these are only a few examples of the more significant differences.
 The new 2008 Edition of Business Torts: A Fifty-State Guide helps you quickly assess the merits and pitfalls of litigation in any given jurisdiction allowing you to make the best decisions for your clients.

Now updated in its Fourth Edition, it examines employer obligations to protect employees from occupational hazards, and provides clear analysis of how the law works - and how it affects clients.

The 2018 Cumulative Supplement adds new discussions including the following: Discussions of case law in federal courts applying TC Heartland to motions alleging improper venue, defining the scope of acts of infringement and a regular and established place of business ; in In re BigCommerce, Inc., the Federal Circuit clarified that venue is proper in only one particular judicial district in the state ; and in In re Cray Inc. the Federal Circuit identified three general requirements for a party to have a regular and established place of business in a judicial district Supreme Court rulings on the PTAB in Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene s Energy Group, LLC, holding that IPR proceedings do not violate Article III of the U.S. Constitution, and in SAS Institute, Inc. v. Iancu rejecting the PTAB s partial institution practice A new section explaining the latest in arbitration in PTAB proceedings At the intersection of antitrust and patent law and following Actavis, the Third Circuit concluded that the federal district court improperly exercised federal jurisdiction based solely on a counterclaim that turns on federal law in In re Lipitor Antitrust Litig. On remand in Amgen Inc. v Sandoz Inc., the Federal Circuit held that BPCIA preempted state law claims under both field and conflict preemption Providing some much-needed guidance, the Federal Circuit in Vanda Pharmaceuticals Inc. v. West-Ward Pharmaceuticals Int l Ltd. held that claims were patent eligible because they are directed to a specific method of treatment for specific patients using a specific compound at specific doses to achieve a specific outcome, in contrast to the claims in Mayo, which were directed to the natural relationship itself, and USPTO issued guidance adopting the Federal Circuit s Vanda opinion In Amgen v. Sanofi/Regeneron, the Federal Circuit rejected the so-called newly characterized antigen test, because permitting patentees to claim antibodies by describing something that is not the invention (the antigen) would effectively dispense with the requirement that a patentee provide a written description of the invention ; in view of Amgen, the USPTO issued guidance in February 2018 stating that adequate written description of a newly characterized antigen alone should not be considered adequate written description of a claimed antibody to that newly characterized antigen, even when the preparation of such an antibody is routine and conventional In Krausz Indus. Ltd. v. Smith-Blair, Inc., the Eastern District of North Carolina extended waiver of attorney client privilege and work product to post-litigation communications and work product in light of an allegation of ongoing willful infringement under the theory that neither Halo nor In re Seagate precluded an extended waiver New sections in the chapter on document discovery on local patent rule discovery requirements and on potential e-discovery issues created by the new EU GDPR law In a state court action involving an allegation of breach of contract in In re Andrew Silver, the Texas Supreme Court recognized that a party was entitled to claim privilege over emails to his patent agent In Regeneron Pharms., Inc. v. Merus N.V., the Federal Circuit held that the district court did not abuse its discretion when it sanctioned Regeneron by drawing an adverse inference for widespread discovery misconduct throughout the litigation Two Federal Circuit opinions issued on the same day addressed attorney s fees in exceptional cases Checkpoint Sys. v.

The aim of the Guide is to identify best practices that arbitrators can employ to provide users of arbitration with the highest possible standards of economy and fairness in the disposition of business disputes. This second edition of the Guide refines the guidance contained in the first edition to take into account developing case law, revised institutional rules, advancements in arbitration techniques and thinking, and also addresses newly evolving issues such as electronic discovery. There are significant differences in the ways in which arbitrations are conducted in different substantive fields of commerce and among different arbitrators in the same field. Techniques that are appropriate and useful in one case may be quite unsuited to another. For this reason, it is not possible to prescribe a single set of best practices that commercial arbitrators should invariably follow in every case. Rather, this Guide attempts to identify the principal issues that typically arise in each successive stage of an arbitration and to explain the pros and cons of various preferred ways of handling each issue. From this perspective, the best practice for an arbitrator is to carefully consider the merits of alternative techniques available for dealing with a particular issue and to then select the technique best suited to the situation. In addition, the Guide attempts to identify the full array of practices available for use in complex arbitrations, which can be adapted and streamlined for simpler cases. Formed in 2001, the College of Commercial Arbitrators is a non-profit organization composed of prominent, experienced commercial arbitrators who believe that a national association of commercial arbitrators can provide a meaningful contribution to the profession, to the public, and to the businesses and lawyers who depend on arbitration as a primary means of dispute resolution. Its mission includes promoting professionalism and high ethical practice in commercial arbitration, adopting and maintaining standards of conduct, providing peer training and professional development, and developing and publishing "best practices" materials. This work is the College's principal vehicle for fulfilling several aspects of its mission. Many seasoned and knowledgeable practitioners generously contributed their time and insights to the creation of this Guide.
