The protection of product designs has become increasingly complex. Companies spend thousands to create innovative, distinctive products only to see them knocked-off or imitated and sold by competitors almost immediately. Protection of such designs requires an integrated approach, combining design patents, trademarks, and/or copyright protection.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has recently changed the test for design patent infringement, eliminating previous problems and creating new ones. Trade dress law with respect to product designs continues to evolve and, while copyright law has some limitations, copyright remedies are exceptionally powerful.
Please join panelists Julia Anne Matheson and Steve Peterson for this complimentary webinar, as they discuss:
The current state of the law regarding the use of design patents to protect consumer products
Recent changes in the law
The current state of the law using trade dress to protect consumer products
The interrelationship of design patents, trademark law, and/or copyright law in protecting consumer products
