In this article, Ted, along with co-author Joseph Davis, addresses recent opinions bearing on the intersection of the free speech and trademark rights. Part II examines the content discrimination vs. viewpoint discrimination framework introduced into the registration context by the Supreme Court’s opinions in Matal v. Tam and Iancu v. Brunetti, but dispensed with by the Court in Vidal v. Elster. Along with Part II, Part III examines the Court’s 2023 decision in Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC and applications of it by the lower federal courts since its issuance.

CLIENT SUCCESS | "Kilpatrick attorneys secured a significant decision for contractors and subcontractors performing work in Pennsylvania. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed District Court Judge William S. Stickman’s award of penalties, attorneys’ fees, and expenses under the Pennsylvania Contractor and Subcontractor Payment Act (CASPA) to C.J. Hughes Construction Company. The case arose from a dispute over payment owed to C.J. Hughes for its work constructing segments of a natural gas pipeline. In issuing its ruling, the Third Circuit offered greater clarity on the scope and application of CASPA. The Third Circuit confirmed CASPA does not contain a formal invoicing requirement, its attorney’s fees provision does not require a showing that the non-prevailing party lacked good faith in its failure to pay amounts due, and the penalty provision in the pre-amendment version of CASPA is not waivable."

“If the claimants actually have to document arbitration agreements or at least submit declarations confirming their status as customers that would have agreed to arbitration agreements, that makes it much more difficult for mass arbitration claimants counsel to quickly amass an enormous group of legitimate claimants and thereby saddle the business respondent with massive initial filing fees." Kilpatrick Partner Allen Garrett was recently quoted by ALM for their article titled, "Will 7th Circuit Ruling Make Mass Arbitrations ‘Too Onerous’ for Plaintiffs Firms?"

LEGAL ALERT | As previously reported, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) finalized a sweeping rule that, if effective, would ban nearly every post-employment non-compete provision. Lawsuits challenging the rule, which is scheduled to go into effect on September 4, 2024, were commenced in various federal courts around the country immediately following the FTC’s vote to adopt the rule.

LEGAL ALERT | By any metric, Japan should have great appeal for foreign investors. It is an advanced economy with a strong market, established industrial base, renowned tech sector, a reputation for quality, and a stable and secure economy. The substantial depreciation of the Yen, which hit historic lows this year, presents foreign companies with a unique opportunity to take advantage of this prime economic situation. Yet in practice, Japan has some of the lowest rates of foreign direct investment (FDI) of its peers—just 8% of GDP value. Why? Companies often cite Japan’s unique regulatory scheme and business practices. But Japan’s government has promised to boost FDI 50% (80 trillion yen) by 2030. This article outlines these new initiatives and considerations for companies that wish to take advantage of this prime economic situation.
