Ross Bagley, Counsel in the firm's Litigation and IP Groups, recently authored an article in IPWatchdog titled, "USMCA Set To Export U.S. Copyright Law to North American Neighbors." In the piece, Bagley explains the newly passed United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which renegotiates and cancels the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).

Bagley notes that the USMCA is expected to dramatically affect many areas of law of its three member states, stating that "it is important for content companies and ISPs alike to understand the new treaty’s impact on their rights and remedies across North American borders."

About Pryor Cashman's Copyright Practice

Dating back to when we prosecuted the landmark “My Sweet Lord” action against George Harrison in the 1970’s, Pryor Cashman attorneys have been at the forefront of copyright law, handling the cases that have come to define the space. Expert in the intricacies of copyright law, we have defended film infringement claims against box office hits, tested the limits of the “fair use” doctrine and secured judicial decisions limiting the use by infringers of the so-called “safe harbor” protections provided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
