This report, Adapting to Innovation, explores the emerging challenges to the laws, rules and regulations governing the ever-expanding universe of the consumer products sector. Prepared by lawyers in Kaye Scholer’s multipractice Consumer Products group, the report features the following five articles that look at legal developments in the key areas that can most impact a brand’s bottom line:
