Kiobel: Major U.S. Jurisdictional Limitation for Overseas ActionsPatton Boggs LLP
The Supreme Court issued a decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. that places major limitations on using the Alien Tort Statute to sue foreign defendants in U.S. courts for acts occurring outside U.S. territory. A majority of justices based the decision on a presumption against extraterritorial application of U.S. law to protect foreign relations. However, some justices left open the possibility that certain cases involving distinct U.S. interests could still be brought under the ATS. The decision significantly limits but does not completely bar ATS lawsuits over conduct abroad.

Trademark Clearinghouse Adds To Brand ProtectionsPatton Boggs LLP
The document discusses the Trademark Clearinghouse, which was created by ICANN to help protect trademarks as new generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are introduced. It allows trademark owners to register their marks, which provides benefits like priority to register matching domain names during a "Sunrise Period" and notices of potentially infringing domain name applications. While registration provides advantages, there are limitations like only national/regional registered marks can be included. The law firm recommends clients consider Clearinghouse registration to increase protections for their trademarks under the new gTLD program.

Fusillade à Saint-Martin en marge du « Fish Day ».
Dimanche 05 mai 2013, vers 19h45, plusieurs coups de feu ont été tirés simultanément au cours de
la manifestation festive "Fish-Day" organisée à Cul-de-Sac. Un homme de vingt ans a été tué et 7
autres personnes ont été blessées par balles dont deux grièvement mais dont le pronostic vital n’est
pas engagé.
L’une d’elles a fait l’objet d’une évacuation sanitaire, ce matin, vers l’hôpital de la Guadeloupe et
trois personnes sont encore hospitalisées à l’hôpital Louis-Constant Fleming de Marigot.
Quatre autres personnes, présentes sur les lieux au moment des faits, ont été blessées plus légère-
ment.
La Préfète de la région Guadeloupe et le Préfet délégué auprès de la Représentante de l’Etat dans
les collectivités de Saint-Barthélemy et de Saint-Martin expriment leur profonde émotion suite à cet
événement tragique et assurent les familles des victimes de leur soutien.
Enfin, il convient de saluer le professionnalisme et la réactivité de l’ensemble des services de se-
cours et de sécurité qui ont su répondre à cette situation d’urgence exceptionnelle.
