US Supreme Court Urged to Avoid Special Rules for Skinny Labels
Arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court focus on whether drugmakers using “skinny labels” should face unique patent liability rules. Industry voices warned that creating special rules could disrupt existing patent frameworks and increase legal uncertainty. The case centers on how generic drugs carve out patented uses while still entering the market. A change in interpretation could affect innovation, competition, and compliance obligations across the pharmaceutical sector. The outcome may reshape how companies approach labeling, risk, and litigation.
Half of US Employers Struggle With Policy Compliance
A recent FoxHire study shows that nearly half of U.S. employers face challenges with policy compliance. Many organizations report gaps in enforcement, inconsistent application of rules, and limited employee awareness. Rapid workplace changes, including remote work and evolving regulations, have made compliance harder to manage. The findings suggest that policies alone are not enough without clear communication and accountability. Companies are now reviewing how policies are implemented, not just written.
BetMGM Fined $100K Over KYC Failures and Fraud Activity

🧠Expert Take
“I mean, you can create a digital version of anything, you know? An interesting question is if you have the right to do so? Like, I can create a version of Taj Mahal and send it to you. It doesn’t, you know, do much for anyone. But I think the things that are being tokenized that are getting a lot of momentum in industry fall into two big categories. One is financial assets that are heavily intermediated and have settlement risk, and the other is just straight-up dollars. So the, the first one is you have stocks, futures trading, etc. You have layers upon layers of intermediaries and decades of legal and regulatory guidance and careers and systems, you know, for a futures contract. You have introducing brokers and FCMs and DCMs and DCOs, all to ensure compliance with the law and reducing counterparty and settlement risk.” - Louis Froelich

Companies must also monitor evolving regulations, especially in sectors such as defense, technology, and dual-use goods. Strong internal controls and regular audits are key to managing risk in global trade.
