“These cases have become one of the most powerful, and controversial, tools in modern IP enforcement.” In “Schedule A Litigation in Intellectual Property Cases: Origins, Controversies, and an Uncertain Future,” Rachael L. Rodman breaks down how and why Schedule A litigation has become so prominent in cases involving counterfeiting on online platforms; popular jurisdictions for these sorts of cases to be filed in; and how this enforcement strategy, while successful for brand owners, might draw in future appellate and Supreme Court attention. We thank Rachael for reminding us that “as judicial scrutiny intensifies, practitioners must grapple with a fundamental tension: the need for efficient enforcement in a borderless digital marketplace versus the procedural safeguards that anchor the American judicial system.”
