Pesticide Data Compensation and Protection in a Global Marketplace

Event | 04.07.22, 5:00 AM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT

Address

The Umstead Hotel
100 Woodland Pond Drive, Cary, NC 27513

Please join Crowell & Moring LLP on Thursday, April 7, 2022 at The Umstead Hotel in Cary, North Carolina for a one-day workshop on pesticide data compensation and protection under the laws of the United States, Canada, and the European Union. 

We’ll review the basics and cover what you need to know, whether your focus is on developing new active ingredients, introducing follow-on products, or formulating end-use products. We will also cover recent developments that are increasingly impacting data compensation, such as data “transparency” and its potential impacts on data compensation; the potential impact on compensation of publishing studies (for IARC reviews or other reasons); compensation for pollinator, endangered species, and epidemiology data; the effect of bankruptcy on data compensation obligations; and effectively assigning or receiving pesticide data rights attendant to mergers and acquisitions.

The course will emphasize the practical. It is designed for those who work in pesticide product development, marketing, regulatory, or legal fields and want to incorporate data compensation into the company’s business strategies. Presenters will include professionals with years of practical experience in pesticide regulation, registration, and data compensation.

We look forward to seeing you.

The course fee of $350 includes a continental breakfast, lunch, and cocktail reception.

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
