Demystifying Design Law in the Age of Dupe Culture: A Practical Perspective for In-House Counsel

Dupe culture has exploded as rapid fashion and beauty cycles continue to accelerate, but design law wasn’t built with copy culture in mind. Design patents may be the strongest line of defense in-house counsel have — if a design is protected correctly from the start. Join us in person in New York City on Wednesday, September 9, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM ET as Charles Weigell and Alexandra Kochian, Partners, and Mary Stottele, Senior Associate, at Fross Zelnick, demystify the intricacies of design law and how to protect aesthetic assets from creation through becoming iconic. Attendees will learn how to: Identify the best IP protection for a design — copyright, trademark, or design patent Respond to claims that a client’s design infringes another’s rights Position the business to file for and obtain strong design patent rights Who Should Attend: This program is designed for in-house counsel and brand protection teams who manage design, trademark, or IP portfolios for fashion, beauty, or consumer products companies.
