Description: 

 

When trademarking a name or nickname, there are additional requirements and limitations on when and how somebody can receive mark registration. Nowhere is this more commonly an issue than in entertainment law.  Some of the more famous recent instances of this issue have involved the Kardashians, Johnny Manziel (Johnny Football), and Johnny Gadreau of the Calgary Flames (trademarking Johnny Hockey). This webinar will cover trademarking names, nicknames, and pseudonyms in the entertainment industry. It’s a brief review of the current law, industry pitfalls and issues, and how rights of publicity supplement trademark rights in this area.
