The course will cover the acquisition, maintenance, and enforcement of both registered and unregistered trademark rights. The course will also address trademark dilution and cyber-squatting. Other Internet issues, right of publicity, false endorsement, and federal deceptive advertising may be included, if time permits. Litigation practices and issues will receive particular emphasis. At a minimum, the student should emerge from this course with a thorough understanding of why a trademark and unfair competition practice is one of the most fun a lawyer can choose!
