This day-and-a-half program will feature five mini-trials of an intellectual property case raising patent, trademark and copyright infringement issues. The lively presentations will illustrate trial practice in the courts of China, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom. The mini-trials will be conducted entirely in the English language, before sitting judges from the respective foreign courts, through foreign trial lawyers practic-ing before those courts, and coordinated by present and past U.S. corporate counsel. All mini-trials will be based on the same hypothetical set of facts, which will be distributed at the beginning of the program.
