Does the Constitution Allow Dual Protection Under Design Pat

Webcast
Does the Constitution Allow Dual Protection Under Design Patent and Trade Dress Regimes for the Same Subject Matter? 
Tuesday, September 22, 2020 | 7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

Please Note: All attendees will receive an email confirmation including a zoom invite two hours prior to the program with details of how to access the webinar.
 
Description: 
Traditionally, product designs have been protected both as design patents and trade dress. But should different intellectual property law regimes protect the same features of a product consecutively or even concurrently? The Constitution's Patent/Copyright Clause (Art. I//8/8) certainly can and the Commerce Clause (Art. 1/8/3) probably can provide such protection. But is it allowable and appropriate for both of them to apply to the very same design? Join the Patent Law Committee as it hosts a conversation with Ken Germain as he discuss the PC Cl.  and Commerce Cl., and what type of IP protection is available.

Speaker:
Ken Germain, Of Counsel, Wood Herron & Evans LLP. 

Sponsoring Committee:
