Jim Chester - speech on "Export Controls and Technology" 9/22/08 12:00 Belo Mansion
Aug 28, 2008
Jim Chester will be present, "Export Controls and Technology" at the monthly meeting of the Computer Law Section of the Dallas Bar Association at noon on Monday, September 22, 2008 at the Belo Mansion in Dallas.
Nations have always been concerned about powerful technologies falling into the hands of their enemies, and post-9/11 America is no exception. However, by its very nature, technology is often mercurial and difficult to control. This has led American export regulators to implement a variety of increasingly broad and creative measures to control the export of sensitive US-origin technology to foreigners. Maximum penalties and enforcement activities are increasing, as are the number of pitfalls that await uninformed exporters of US technology. Jim's presentation will discuss key export control rules, with a special emphasis on those implicated by exports of technology.
Admission is free, as is CLE credit for members of the Dallas Bar Association. Lunch is available at a cost.
Jim is a shareholder at Cowles & Thompson, PC, and servers as Chair of the firm's International Business & Trade Practice Group and the Intellectual Property Practice Group.
