Additionally, the National Law Review covers cases and decisions of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Patent disputes don’t only occur in the United States. When international countries including the United Kingdom, Brazil, China, India, and the European Union get involved, international laws are also taken into consideration by the PTO.
