•    New offshoots in the protection of non-traditional brand elements across emerging technologies like extended reality (XR), wearables, and AI-powered platforms.

•    A kitchen-sink approach to tackle copycat and considering whether design patents, copyright, unfair competition or all combined offers the best route of trade dress protection.

•    A more refined methodology of damages awards calculation and the actionable strategy for criminal incidental civil litigation.
