Enforcement of IP Rights at Trade Shows

Original Air Date 11.10.22

This course has expired and is no-longer eligible for CLE.

After a break caused by the pandemic, trade shows are returning and presenting once again opportunities to exchange information about the newest IP. However, trade shows can also be venues where IP rights infringements are discovered and where disputes over IP rights arise or escalate. This presentation discusses the options that IP right owners have for immediate relief at trade shows and explores the ADR mechanisms that some trade show organizers around the world have created to deal with IP rights disputes. It also reviews special court rules that courts in some trade show centers in the world have adopted to facilitate IP enforcement at trade shows.
