REGISTER for the Upcoming #FashionLaw & The Global Runway Hosted by the Beverly Hills Bar Association

Last week Friday, I closed my week with an informational interview from a student interested in knowing all about fashion law. She is just an example of the consistent inquiries I receive about the practice area. Thankfully, more and more events keep coming up that are responsive to the question of ‘what is fashion law’ and ‘what are the latest trends, cases et al. to know?’

Check out details of one such upcoming event below.

Cheers,

Fashion Law & The Global Runway

Beverly Hills Bar AssociationThis program will discuss the latest developments in Fashion Law both domestically and internationally. We will cover when to shout “Stop Thief!” and how to determine if a design is an unauthorized copy or merely a trend, whether legislation is necessary to thwart design piracy, the moral rights conundrum with European designers, why a red sole can serve as a trademark in the US but not under European or Brazilian trademark law, considerations when expanding into a foreign market (labeling laws, differing IP laws, etc), emerging privacy issues in fashion retail, and how to navigate the world of international trade, customs, imports and exports.
