Faster Resolutions In Tariff Classification Litigation: Using Patent Law As A Model, Lawrence Friedman
Faster Resolutions In Tariff Classification Litigation: Using Patent Law As A Model, Lawrence Friedman
Lawrence Friedman
This article draws a previously unmade analogy between patent litigation and customs cases before the U.S. Court of International Trade. The article posits that tariff classification litigation can be made more efficient by inverting the current focus on developing the facts through discovery and, instead, moving quickly to resolve controlling questions of law through motions for partial summary judgment, court-annexed mediation, or, if necessary, revised rules of procedure.
