Be certain to know if the company owns the intellectual property an employee creates. Different types of #IP are treated differently if there is no assignment.

#SCOTUS rules 1st Amendment does not trump #trademark registration prohibition on using another’s name. Justices diverge on what matters most as support. bit.ly/3xBn6H0

Assume #livestream #video is protected by #copyright and assume you cannot copy or reuse it without permission. It may be possible that the video is not protectable, or you have a fair use.

This is my favorite name of a case, and an important nuance in trademark protection,
Under the Dawn Donut Rule, a #trademark registrant can only exercise rights in territories where it operates, or plans to operate. Owners should realize their federal rights may not cover the entire country. lnkd.in/gqwKfu_k #IPTechknowledgy #dawndonut #infringement #IPNed

#SCOTUS rules that #copyright #damages are no longer limited to three years. This may seem like good news for plaintiffs, but the case may ultimately have little impact. bit.ly/3yojxnN

Initial court rulings on artificial intelligence programs are not immediately finding that #AI #infringes on the materials used to train their knowledge base.

In #copyright infringement cases, a successful defendant could obtain attorney’s fees from plaintiff. Defendants could use this as leverage against an oppressive plaintiff.

Right of publicity may (or may not) be considered Intellectual Property under Section 230. Takedown notices and liability for website publication depend on state law and choice of venue. bit.ly/3OS1fkc

Trademark owners should always use a #trademark as the #brand of the product or service, and not to describe an aspect of the offering or as its generic name. Careless usage could weaken the mark. bit.ly/3Ic8obr

It’s the #playoffs! Be careful using your team’s #logo or other #trademarks for your own business purposes. Don’t use a player’s #name, #image or #likeness without permission. Go #Ravens!

The core of Intellectual Property: you cannot protect mere ideas. You can protect how you implement the idea.
Under Intellectual Property law you can’t protect a mere idea or concept. You can protect the more specific aspects and applications of that idea. bit.ly/4atLc5j

This is a generational change in the important process of trademark clearance searches.
Today the #USPTO revamped its #trademark search interface. The switch is a reminder that trademark #clearance searches help reduce future #infringement. tinyurl.com/mkeeu7xm
