Mark VB Partridge
on Mon 26 Jan 2009 02:08 PM CST
Today is the first day of the class I most enjoy teaching in Law School - Trademark Transactions" - a course on the transactional side of trademark law.
The course was originally created to focus on transactions involving trademarks - licenses, assignments, consent agreements, etc. Over time, as trademarks have evolved into increasingly valuable business assets, I've expanded to the focus of the course to deal with all aspects of managing trademarks as a business asset. The course covers all aspects of trademarks faced in Corporate Trademark Practice as seen during nearly 30 years of helping in-house counsel with knotty ... more »

I returned last week from speaking at the Professional Convention Management Association annual meeting in New Orleans. My topic: "Avoid Lawsuits . . . and Other Legal Problems."

My advice: when in doubt, ask for permission, talk to a lawyer, or create your own original work.
New Orleans was great. I stayed in the French Quarter (Soniat House) and confined my wandering to ... more » Monday, January 12

My Pattishall colleagues Brett August, Bradley Cohn and Alexis Payne recently won another round in a closely watched lawsuit involving Google and others regarding allegedly unfair use of domain names. The plaintiffs had attempted to bring a class action against multiple defendants for purported trademark infringement, cybersquatting and deceptive trade practices.
In this important victory on behalf of Pattishall client Internet REIT ("Ireit"), our trial team successfully showed that the many differences among the defendants and the intellectual properties at issue precluded class certification. In refusing to certify the class, the court stated: "class members cannot be treated alike because ... more » Saturday, January 10
