Arent Fox Looks for Footing on Rough Road

Within the last year, Arent Fox has weathered the departures of 52 lawyers -- and during the past decade it has shuttered four offices and reached dead ends in a number of merger talks.

Can Dilution Apply to Product Design?

UPPOSE A COMPANY sells a unique product that is a national sensation, say a triangle-shaped car, and its competitor introduces a startlingly similar vehicle. Outraged, the company that originated the car design wants to file suit. Patent law is likely to be the first thought for recourse.

Second Circuit Review

Martin Flumenbaum and Brad S. Karp, members of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, review the notable decision in Heerwagen v.
