AIPLA filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court in United States Patent and Trademark Office et al. v. Booking.com B.V., No. 19-46, a case addressing whether the addition by an online business of a generic top-level domain (such as “.com”) to an otherwise generic term can create a protectable trademark. In part one of a two-part series, we hear from Rebeccah Gan, a Partner at Wenderoth, on why she disagrees with AIPLA's adopted position. In part two, we'll hear from Craig B. Whitney, a partner in the Frankfurt Kurnit litigation group and the author of AIPLA's recent amicus brief in this case.Hosted and produced by Kemahl Franklyn.Support the show (http://www.aipla.org)
