Abstract

Discusses, with reference to US case law, the jurisdictional challenges posed by transnational counterfeits. Examines the jurisdictional reach of US courts, the mechanisms by which a court can ensure compliance with transnational discovery, and the remaining areas of uncertainty. Reviews the use of comity to restrict extraterritorial applications, China's firewall against US courts, and the extraterritorial liability risks in global governance.
