This year has been another exciting, high-profile year for the trademark world. Top celebrities and brands—from Lizzo to Aaron Judge and from Jack Daniels to Hermès—have been testing their trademark might. Key cases have redefined the parameters of intellectual property protection and have revolved around everything from the reach of the Lanham Act to the role of parody. In this webinar, Lombard, Geliebter & Cohen partner Sarah Cohen walks you through the top trademark decisions of 2023 and provides an overview of what to watch for in 2024, too. In particular, she discusses:
- Parody, free speech, and trademarks
- Extraterritoriality findings in Abitron v. Hetronic
- Proving and preventing genericide
- Protecting celebrity catchphrases
