IPO’s 2024 Case Law Year in Review webinar will examine the important IP developments of the last 12 months. In terms of copyrights, panelists will discuss the Supreme Court’s holding that there is no time-based limit on timely copyright claims, the permissible use of tattoos in media, and the deluge of claims concerning training AI on copyrighted works. In terms of trade secrets, speakers will review cases concerning identification of trade secrets, statutes of limitations, and extraterritorially. In terms of trademarks, hear about the closely watched Penn State v. Vintage Brand trial, a case one observer said threatened to “shake the foundations of trademark law,” as well as how the Lanham Act’s Names Clause fared in the face of a constitutional challenge. Finally, the most impactful cases in the patent space will be discussed, including LKQ, Allergan v. MSN and EcoFactor v. Google.
