GENERAL SESSION

SESSION 3

PRACTICAL TIPS IN ESTABLISHING AND PRESENTING
EVIDENCE – VIEWS FROM THE BENCH AND BAR
When it comes to enforcing legal rights, the courtroom is where the
rubber meets the road. Whether or not you actively litigate trademark
issues, a good understanding of which facts will be admissible in
formal proceedings, and what evidence will be considered probative and
persuasive, is essential for providing competent advice on anything from
selection to clearance to policing and enforcement. See how the bar and the
bench view the presentation of evidence at a preliminary injunction hearing
and at trial, and learn what evidence works and what does not work in
making a winning case.

TRADEMARKS AND TAXES
If you advise clients about ownership and transfer of trademarks,

ADVERTISING ISSUES AND ADVERTISING CLEARANCE
Trademark practitioners are regularly called on to clear
advertisements, and proper trademark use is only the tip of the
iceberg. Learn what you should know to approve an ad – or kill it
with confidence – including essential concepts of copyright law,
false advertising, claim substantiation and rights of publicity.
You will also learn how to manage the clearance process effectively,
by hearing perspectives and expectations from clients, outside counsel
and advertising agencies.
