ABA Podcast | Design Patents and Copyright’s Substantial Similarity

I had the privilege of sitting down with McAndrews, Held & Malloy, Ltd. Partner Dunstan Barnes and The American Bar Association Section of Intellectual Property Law's #Design Rights Committee for a fireside chat on my recent Florida Law Review article "Saving Substantial Similarity." In a wide-ranging conversation, we discussed three lessons from design law's Egyptian Goddess case for #copyright law, Senator Tillis' recent proposal to establish a single IP agency and the importance of fostering intra-disciplinary conversations like this one. There is much that design law can teach the rest of IP and we have only just cracked the surface. Section members can access the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/e2dUUjtW
