After a slightly long hiatus (a little over two months), I am back to blogging on Fashionentlaw.com. The emphasis going forward are all things Fashion Law with a smaller percentage on Entertainment Law. The site has also received a make over to reflect the direction I want to go with it.
I will be catching up on interesting fashion law cases that I am yet to discuss here and hope you all find them informative and relevant. Speaking of relevant and informative, University of Pennsylvania holds their annual intellectual property law forum. This time, the emphasis is on fashion law. The school by the way received a threat of a lawsuit from Louis Vuitton based on their flyer.
