As previously reported, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) finalized a sweeping rule that, if effective, would ban nearly every post-employment non-compete provision. Lawsuits challenging the rule, which is scheduled to go into effect on September 4, 2024, were commenced in various federal courts around the country immediately following the FTC’s vote to adopt the rule."

"China has acceded to the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, an international treaty that replaces the legalization procedure with a certification called an apostille. In other words, apostilled documents issued by one of the member countries of the Convention have the same effect in another member country regarding their authenticity. Accession took place on March 8, 2023, and took effect on November 7, 2023." Kilpatrick's Wen-Hsien (Wendy) Cheng's article was recently published in International Trademark Association (INTA)'s China Bulletin. Read her full article here: https://lnkd.in/eUzG9_7U

"Precision agriculture has the power to disrupt farming as we know it, and it will be driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). But farmers, their suppliers and purveyors of precision ag technologies also need to be aware of the associated legal risks. Consider the example of orchard management software that uses an AI model to output precision recommendations for pesticide applications. If the AI model recommends application of a pesticide at a concentration in violation of a government regulation, where does liability lie?"
