Show Notes

In this segment of “IP in the News”, we dive into a heated Supreme Court case that challenges the boundaries of trademark law and free speech. When someone attempted to trademark a snarky phrase using a celebrity's name, the court had the final say—no consent, no trademark. Join us as we unpack the implications of this decision, explore the fine line between creativity and legality, and discuss what it all means for your rights in the world of intellectual property.

 

Richard Gearhart and Elizabeth Gearhart, co-hosts of The Passage to Profit Show along with iHeartMedia Maven Kenya Gipson have this discussion with Ernesto Cullari and Barbara Wardell from Cullari & Wardell agency, Remi Leibovic from RCL Media and Gerard Longo from Underground Music Collective.
