Justification and Approval for: Single Source Brand Name

1. REQUISITION NUMBER: 6500-OARS-24-0080 ESTIMATED TOTAL VALUE: $16,000.00

2. Description of supplies or Services Required to Meet Agency:

Portfolio Media' Intellectual Property Law360 provides breaking news and analysis on IP law. Coverage includes cases involving patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and other forms of IP, as well as policy developments and licensing deals.

3. Justification for Limited Competition:

Iplaw360 publishes timely articles, case analyses, ip related briefs and industry insights. Expert IP contributors collaborate with legal professionals to provide authoritative content daily . This is the only authoritative news source for IP and international trade news articles that feature the ITC as a major topic of discussion. We already have access to Bloomberg Law for IP and and LEXIS Plus for general and legal legal news. However, they do not cover the activities of the ITC in such detail as Law360.

The Clifford Chance Global IP Newsletter has primarily a global focus . It does not cover the US IP industry or the US international Trade Commission with the same detail as IPLaw360.

Our agency already subscribes to most of the other intellectual property sub-collections. Unfortunately, they do not provide the breath and depth of news information available as provided on the IPLaw360 platform. The Clifford Chance Global IP Newsletter has a global focus primarily. It does not cover the US IP industry with the same detail as IPLaw360.
