Clifton, Budd & DeMaria, LLP

UNION CONTRACT AUTOMATICALLY RENEWED DESPITE ONGOING BARGAINING
The United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in Long Island Head Start Child Developmental Services, Inc. v. NLRB vacated an NLRB order that, among other things, had dispensed with the normal contract termination notices. The employer and the union had a provision in their contract that caused the contract to renew for a year automatically unless notice of termination was issued. That union contract had renewed several times for lack of notice. The parties, however, started negotiating in late 2003, with the contract set to expire in May 2004 (unless it automatically renewed again). The NLRB had found that the employer and union were bargaining and, so, strict compliance with the requirement for notice to terminate the collective bargaining agreement was waived. Consequently, the NLRB had held that the employer's unilateral change in health insurance carrier, which was permitted under the union contract, was improper without bargaining. The Court, however, found that "[a]t no point did either party express an intent to suspend the operation of the evergreen clause [which automatically renewed the union contract]." The Court concluded that the prior NLRB cases finding that "ongoing negotiations suspend the forms and conditions of notice (timeliness and a writing); but [does] not speak to whether the conduct of negotiations dispenses with the need for any manifested notice of intent to terminate." [Emphasis in original.] Because the NLRB did not satisfactorily explain why the rule dispensing with forms and conditions of notice should be extended to the giving of any notice, the Court vacated the NLRB's decision and remanded the case to the NLRB for further proceedings.

Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP

CDRH In Hiring Mode, But Its PMA Stretch Goals Remain Elusive
At the 12th annual meeting of the Medical Device Manufacturers Association, two Finnegan Henderson lawyers spoke at a session that addressed intellectual property concerns. Les Bookoff discussed rules changes that the PTO is considering. Bookoff characterized these changes as “very significant…some of the most radical changes ever seen.” Bookoff recommended that firms with pending applications try to push them through so as to avoid putting their patents under the new rules. Barbara McCurdy reviewed some of the legal entanglements in the area of client/attorney communications that arise when companies clash over patents. She said that while such communications are generally privileged, the privilege might not apply when the opinion is produced in litigation, especially in light of the Echostar Communications case.
