From soaps and cookies to yarn and bracelets, Taylor Swift fans are making money through products inspired by the singer – and she embraces it. Though some products have been taken down from marketplaces for possible copyright infringement, Taylor Swift has not been suing small entrepreneurs and has even encouraged their creativity, says Professor Jennifer Rothman of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. She explains it makes business sense for the star, as her fans not only do not affect her bottom line but in fact boost the positive feelings around her brand. #TaylorSwift #TorturedPoetsDepartment #copyright https://lnkd.in/gGB4HVtK

Competition in the $9 billion cookie market is crumbling 🍪 #Hydrox owner Leaf Brands, LLC is suing Mondelēz International for intimidating retailers into diminishing Hydrox’s presence in aisles in favor of Oreos. To have a strong antitrust claim, however, it would have to prove a significant loss of market share and sales, warns Professor Herbert Hovenkamp of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. He adds that Mondelez’s actions were likely part of a negotiating tactic and that retailers would not allow customers and the store to be hurt. #oreo #antitrust https://lnkd.in/gTGdh99W

Iconic founders are now innovating corporate law, and legal frameworks may need to adapt to the changing dynamics. Delaware judges are struggling to control billionaires like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg who dominate an ordinary shareholder vote and exert corporate control in their companies through new mechanisms such as dual class-stock and their superstar status, explains Jill Fisch, professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. She also highlights the need for better tools to ensure controlling stakeholders are fair to minority shareholders. #Meta #Tesla #CorporateLaw https://lnkd.in/gX7sZqWZ

Should TikTok be banned? The company has vowed to sue the administration for signing into law an “unconstitutional” bill that forces its parent ByteDance to sell the app or face a ban in the U.S. While the company claims the bill will harm consumers, courts would likely agree it addresses a legitimate government interest, says Center for Technology, Innovation, & Competiton Academic Director Gus Hurwitz. If they do, another concern becomes it would set a precedent for future violations of users’ First Amendment rights. hashtag #TIkTokBan #FirstAmendment https://lnkd.in/ecPe22Gd

The FTC goes to court – this time as a defendant. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has sued the agency, contending its authority a day after it voted in favor of a rule that bans noncompete agreements. The suit comes at a time of skepticism among Supreme Justices about administrative agencies, says Professor Cary Coglianese, Academic Director of the Regulatory Analysis and Decision-Making Exec Ed Program and professor at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. He warns that the lower court might strike down FTC’s rule, bringing the case to the Supreme Court. #FTC https://lnkd.in/gf7WRUF2

Enjoy reading this on your #iPhone – while you still can! Big Tech antitrust is now going against Apple with a Justice Department lawsuit for maintaining an illegal monopoly in the #smartphone market. If the government succeeds, the tech giant could face treble damages from consumers and competitors and a restructuring which would take a major toll on the company and its operations, warns Center for Technology Innovation & Competition Research Fellow Giovanna Massarotto. She explains that antitrust law in such monopoly cases becomes complicated, as it is difficult to define and decide whether a company is in fact a monopoly. A wrong punishment against a tech giant like Apple would reduce innovation and harm consumers further. We must enforce antitrust carefully, says Massarotto. #Apple #antitrust https://lnkd.in/eYGQTAaZ

Is the new sell-or-be-banned measure against TikTok unconstitutional? Yes – says Chinese owner ByteDance who argues it violates users’ rights in the First Amendment and has promised to sue – but political pressures are nonetheless piling up as lawmakers remain split on the issue. Concern also arises about the ramifications such a precedent could have for digital media and global internet in the U.S. While TikTok seems confident about its planned challenge, it could end up in front of the Supreme Court which would likely uphold the law in its current composition, warns Center for Technology Innovation & Competition Academic Director Gus Hurwitz. He adds that national security issues tend to be a trump card which would allow the government to bring up legitimate arguments. #TikTokBan #digitalmedia https://lnkd.in/ePmmMEaB
