How far can you take parody of someone else's trademark? The U.S. Supreme Court (in a case captioned Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC) clarified some rules last summer about when a parody defense won't save you in a trademark dilution spat. As villain Victor learns from Dr. I.P. in this shocking Season 4 finale of Idea Defense 101 (“Children of the Dilution”), one shouldn't expect to evade a dilution claim when the parody in question is, itself, used as a source identifier. Check out the video to learn more about the case and whether Victor will finally triumph over Dr. I.P.! #branding #trademarks #patentattorney #patentlawyer #DrIPKnows ------------------------------------------   **Follow me for more interesting examples & useful tips regarding IP. **Got an idea you don't know what to do with?

What could be the fate of the claim of Alves, if he had filed the case in Ohio's US District Court, especially when there is a forum selection clause in the terms of use of the website? If Alves had filed his claim in Ohio, whether the District Court at Ohio could legally interpret the provisions of privacy laws of Massachusetts, on the basis of which the claim was filed in District Court located in Massachusetts? When a Massachusetts statute was the basis of claim of the plaintiff, and, prima facia, Goodyear has violated the said statute, then should it not be appropriate to try the case instead of dismissing the same summarily?

WATCH THIS.

Paris is a company town, and fashion will be at the center of the 2024 Summer Olympics. Of course, one company stands to truly benefit from that opportunity at scale, and that’s LVMH, currently the largest in Europe by market capitalization. (It remains neck and neck with Novo Nordisk, the maker of Ozempic.) Last summer, the group announced their deal as the lead sponsor of the Games, valued at $160 million by The Wall Street Journal. The amount of money LVMH will invest in marketing, advertising, and promotion around the two-week-long event will be far greater, adding hundreds of millions of dollars to the actual spend. In some departments, marketers were required to devote a third of their annual budget to efforts around the Olympics, and not just at a group level—individual brands have been asked to chip in tens of millions here and there. The catch is that their budgets were not, in most cases, increased overall. LVMH's takeover of the games says a lot about the state of the industry, and about the group itself. For the latest issue of Line Sheet Puck, I surveyed the situation. There's also an update on the business of Law Roach, a plea to Les Wexner, and some thoughts on the value of Chrome Hearts....
