Do Trademark Litigants Get Their Day in Court? The Preclusive Effect of ITC Trademark Determinations in the U.S. District Court System
The presentation examines the International Trade Commission’s role as an administrative agency regulating intellectual property and whether its decisions should have binding effect on the U.S. District Courts. Particularly, the presentation contrasts the unique considerations applicable to trademark law with other areas of IP and focuses on whether ITC trademark determinations should be preclusive after the Federal Circuit’s August 2019 decision, Swagway LLC v. International Trade Commission.

The Trademark Modernization Act: What is it and How did we Get Here?
Sweeping changes are coming to the Lanham Act that will affect office action response times, Letters of Protest, the ease with which a third party can expunge or trigger reexamination of a trademark registration, and the presumption of irreparable harm in preliminary injunction motions. What are these changes, and why now?
