Webcast to look at 'Money to Be Won and Lost in Trademark Litigation'

The Practising Law Institute (PLI) will present "Money to Be Won and Lost in Trademark Litigation: Attorney Fees, Damages and Profits" as a live webcast on Tuesday, April 13, beginning at 1 p.m. While conventional wisdom for many years has held the injunction against use of a trademark to be the main prize and danger of trademark litigation, the stakes in many cases have risen. Plaintiffs now frequently seek, in addition to injunctive relief, monetary awards in the form of damages, profits, and attorney fees. This briefing will cover the general statutory and common law framework of monetary relief in trademark cases, as well as judicial applications of the laws to specific controversies. Speakers Patricia Cotton, Richard L. Kirkpatrick and Paul E. Thomas from Pillsbury, Winthrop, Shaw, Pittman LLP will address: - Legal criteria to merit each type of monetary award available in trademark litigation, including the impact of recent Supreme Court decisions. - Practical strategies to win money awards and defend against them. - Types of proofs accepted and rejected by courts. - Risk assessment decision processes to weigh the expense of litigation against potential recoveries and losses. Course materials will be available to attendees prior to the start of the program. Cost for the webcast is $299. To register or for additional information, visit www.pli.edu and click on "programs."
