Members Bruce Paul and Mari-Elise Paul presented a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) session for the Louisville Bar Association, titled 'Protecting Your Rights While Fighting Trolls: Copyright & Trademark Infringement in the Digital Age.'
"Copyright and trademark infringement are rampant problems in the online environment. The ease of technological tools, combined with everyone's desire to make a mark and some money for free, has created an environment for people to steal legally protected works, even if they don't intend to do that. That reality has fueled a legal business model where alleged trademark and copyright owners send cease and desist letters demanding thousands of dollars in"licensing fees" to avoid infringement lawsuits. This CLE talks about both sides of this reality, helping IP owners to protect their IP assets online while also talking about best practices if you or a client receives one of those infringement demands."
