Animal Science Products, Inc. v. Hebei Welcome Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd.
Petition for certiorari denied on October 3, 2022
Issues: (1) Whether, despite the Supreme Court’s “well established”
interpretation of the Sherman Act, U.S. courts may
reinterpret the same text of that act case by case
using a discretionary 10-factor balancing test under
the doctrine of prescriptive comity; and (2) whether a court interpreting the meaning of
foreign law under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 44.1
is limited to the “face” of written legal materials, as
the decision below held, or may also consider evidence
as to how foreign law is implemented and enforced
that would be relevant to the interpretive inquiry in
the foreign legal system.
