This course covers the federal and state law that governs trademark rights. We will begin with the law of unfair competition and how trademarks fit within the broader context of intellectual property rights. Next, the course will explore how to get, keep and protect trademarks, and how to help different types of clients strengthen their trademark portfolios. The class will then focus on trademark infringement, counterfeiting, trademark dilution and false advertising. The course will conclude with a discussion of remedies, trademarks as speech, trademark use on the internet and in Internet domain names. Classes are conducted as discussions, and class participation may be considered as part of the final grade.
