A granted U.S. patent can be challenged through various administrative procedures under U.S. patent law at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), which are designed to provide a faster, cheaper alternative to challenging the patent in a federal court litigation. The most common administrative procedures include ex parte reexamination, inter partes review and post grant review.

Is China slapping back? The country has amended its maritime regulations, potentially imposing countermeasures such as higher port charges or even barring U.S.-service vessels from Chinese ports.

• Despite that, we see the tariff-related divot in global economic activity as smaller and more short-lived than feared as 2025 began.

The Headlines: U.S. trade policy is having a notable impact on global trade, despite months of delays and uncertainty. Data shows that in August, China began shipping more to ASEAN countries and less to the U.S., while also bringing attention to the issue of illegal transshipment. The upcoming U.S. port fees are also reshaping trade lanes, with many Chinese-built ships being rerouted to non-U.S. trades. The dynamics of the global supply chain trade (and the ports it relies...
