This practical program is specifically designed for business and IP lawyers who need to stay current with the recent trends in trademark, trade dress, and false advertising laws.

  • possible resuscitation of a dead “generic term”
  • likelihood of confusion, distinctiveness of marks, sponsored links
  • dilution vs. confusion
  • what's new in trade dress/product design and functionality
  • injunctive relief, whether trademark causes deserve a presumption of irreparable harm
  • monetary remedies: damages and attorney's fees under Lanham Act sec 35(a)

  • insurance coverage for 'advertising injury' claims
