Export control and regulatory guidance
Developing an international patent strategy requires careful navigation of shifting regulatory and administrative requirements of trade and export controls. The reach is broad, affecting U.S. companies or organizations that export materials, software, and technologies, as well as non-U.S. companies that may utilize such exports in products of their own. In the current global environment, the trend is toward aggressive enforcement, and the penalties are severe. Playing by the rules is essential. A failure to understand the nuances could mean losing access to key markets and the potential of fines and prosecutions through inadvertent violation of export regulations.
