For young lawyers in private practice, one of the best skills you can develop is spotting potential “problem clients” before you take their case.
with copyrights in Steamboat Willie due to expire january 1st, illinois individual applies to register MICKETY MOUSE as a trademark for entertainment services, namely, live, televised and movie appearances by a professional entertainer #trademarks
companies keep bringing, & losing, trademark infringement claims against their unions because their unions' uses are non-confusing. they may constitute parody/noncommercial use/protected speech. some are nominative fair use. they're also a great tool to bully unions, i guess
Starbucks has now sued the union for #trademark infringement & dilution citing tweets calling for a Starbucks boycott as evidence of actual confusion & dilution vice.com/en/article/dy3… via @motherboard
@tm4smallbiz Nice! You went beyond the obvious code too! { "text": "'It depends' is often the correct answer in trademark law..." } 🤣
@TudorsAndTMs Take that one *points*
Anyway here's the brief which make some actual legal arguments: supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/2…
MSHCF submitted an amicus brief to the Supreme Court of the United States with 45 different connect-the-dots, each personalized to a Supreme Court Justice or law clerk. I'm either too much of a lawyer or not enough of one because I don't understand the point.
@MarkJKings By disclaimer of GLAZED and evidence of acquired distinctiveness as to ORIGINAL in this context
"Can we do it like Krispy Kreme did it?" Me: Do you have Krisky Kreme's trademark budget?
@RonColeman @likely2confuse @pchestek Whew! My head is spinning. In my work the logic is easier. (The head bone’s connected to the neck bone, etc.)
@copyrightlately great post, but I think you give short shrift to whether the intermediate copying is transformative / fair use. (in prior post) "Similarly, AI tools aren’t copying images so much to access their creative expression as to identify patterns in the images and captions."
@ericladler Good point - will add that in. I didn't spend much time on intermediate copying because it doesn't seem to be the crux of the complaint - but that may change.
@MarkJKings The wording is awkward. Trademarks are created by individuals/entities. They are entitled to common law protection upon use in commerce. Federal law permits registration (to give nationwide priority) and contain causes of action for registered and unregistered marks.
@jonleelawprof @MarkJKings @devlinhartline i’m no TM attorney but TMs, they’re created in the minds of we, the unwashed masses
