The Supreme Court continues to show its interest in intellectual property matters, hearing oral arguments in two separate trademark cases this term. In Abitron Austria GmbH v. Hetronic International, Inc., the Court is tasked with determining the extraterritorial reach of damages under the Lanham Act. And, keeping things lively, the Justices are also tackling and the rights of companies to protect their brands from potentially confusing parodies in Jack Daniel’s Pros., Inc. v. VIP Products, LLC.
