Hadley, an attorney with more than 25 years of experience in high-stakes intellectual property matters, including patents, copyright, trademark and trade secrets.

- In what ways can overseas businesses be subject to U.S. Intellectual Property laws?
- Where can a foreign business be sued in the United States for allegedly infringing U.S. Intellectual Property laws?
- Can you give us some examples where foreign companies have found themselves in U.S. courts for activities that seemed to take place outside the U.S.?
- The U.S. Supreme Court last year decided a case called WesternGeco LLC v. ION Geophysical Corp., that addressed liability under U.S. patent law for actions that took place outside the U.S. Can you explain what that case was about?
- What advice can you give foreign companies doing business in the U.S. to protect themselves against liability under U.S. intellectual property laws?
