James Aquilina from the firm of Quarles & Brady is widely recognized in the field of U.S. design law, which regards the intersection of design patents, trade dress, and copyrights in useful articles. Both attorneys share their own stories, interesting trademarks in sports, and issues of acquiring and protecting sports marks. Learn about famous marks associated with top sporting events and athletes as well as the changing landscape as rights of personality and trademark apply to college (and high school?) athletes as well as professional athletes.
