Dupes: Legitimate Luxury or Infringing Imitation?

Join the Trademark and Copyright Subcommittee of LAIPLA for a timely panel on the "dupes" and the legal line between inspiration and infringement. We'll explore when lookalike products cross into trademark or copyright risk, including thorny questions of functionality, fair use, and initial interest confusion. Paul Bost (Special Counsel, Sheppard) will moderate a distinguished panel featuring Cassandra Tom (Deputy General Counsel, US, Shein), Mark McKenna (Professor and Vice Dean of Faculty & Intellectual Life, UCLA School of Law), and Raffi Zerounian (Partner, Hanson Bridget).
