“Counterfeit Crackdown” – Schrader & Woodhouse to Lead CLE on Brand Protection
Published: Aug 6, 2025
The two-hour CLE will air through MyLawCLE on Aug. 29, 2025, at Noon central.
Schrader and Woodhouse will discuss how counterfeiting is no longer confined to shady street corners; it’s a global, high-tech enterprise that threatens brands, consumers, and markets alike. The CLE will arm attorneys with a comprehensive, practical toolkit for combating counterfeit goods across physical and digital channels.
Schrader and Woodhouse will explore proactive prevention strategies, pre-litigation tools, collaboration with regulatory authorities, and litigation tactics – such as ITC actions, ex parte seizures, and payment processing freezes – and legal maneuvers that pack a punch when swift action is needed.
At Adams & Reese, Schrader serves as the Anti-Counterfeiting Team Leader. A Partner in the Nashville office, Schrader crafts modern brand and content protection strategies for a wide range of multinational businesses as counterfeiting cuts across virtually every product sector. Schrader serves as Vice Chair of the Anticounterfeiting Committee of INTA (International Trademark Association).
Woodhouse is a first-chair IP litigator with her practice focused on global IP litigation and enforcement and trademark litigation. A Partner in the Nashville office, Woodhouse prosecutes and defends against motions for temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions in “bet-the-company” IP disputes.
Both Schrader and Woodhouse are ranked by clients and peers among the top IP attorneys in Chambers USA (Top Ranked in Tennessee), Managing IP (Rising Stars), and World Trademark Review (Top Trademark Professionals).
