Jordan Weinstein about trademark tacking and issue preclusion – Adrian Dayton about LinkedIn for attorneys – How to win nice Christmas mugs from Germany

51 minutes

Jordan Weinstein analyzes two recent trademark decisions from the Supreme Court. In the first case, the Supreme Court discussed whether the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board’s finding of likelihood of confusion in opposition or cancellation cases can be issue preclusive. The second case is about trademark tacking – slight alterations to the mark after filing. And fellow attorney Adrian Dayton tells us how to use LinkedIn more effectively.
