Globally the fashion and furniture industries are expected to generate over $770 billion and $765 billion, respectively, in 2024. These two giant industries overlap in many ways, including design, innovation, copying, and functionality. And the overlaps prevalent in both industries implicate the same intellectual property laws, namely, design patent, copyright, and trademark or trade dress. The panelists will discuss recent intellectual property trends relating to fashion and furniture designs. The panelists are experts in their respective fields: Scott Shaw, an intellectual property litigator with emphasis in the fashion and furniture industries; Maryn Miller, an in-house fashion law attorney; Shannon King, an in-house furniture and home goods attorney; and, Chris Buccafusco, a Duke intellectual property law professor. The panel moderator is Joni Gaudes, EVP, General Counsel, Hybrid Apparel.

This program includes a review of federal and state trade secret statutes, updates on the FTC‘s recently issued rule respecting noncompetes, and best practices to protect confidential business information going forward.

The panel will discuss common legal issues and risks that arise when reviewing marketing content, and share some best practices around limiting IP and personal rights infringement claims. There will be a focus on how to evaluate risks and when to consider obtaining formal clearances for music, photos, videos, and other common areas of concern (and when not to ask!) that arise when reviewing new advertising collateral and content. Learn how other practitioners approach clearing content, and hear some risk mitigation tips and along with traps for the unwary in-house counsel that supports the marketing team in their efforts.
