IP Casebriefs #006: Discussing the Booking.com Case, Part 2
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 two of a two-part series, we 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. In part 1, we heard from Rebeccah Gan, a Partner at Wenderoth, on why she disagreed with AIPLA's adopted position.
Hosted and produced by Kemahl Franklyn.

AIPLA CLE Webinar: Drafting Considerations to Provide Flexibility in Post Grant Proceedings - EP vs. US
June 22, 2023 12:30 PM to 2:00 PM | 90 Minutes CLE
Drafting patent applications that survive post grant proceedings at home as well as at the EPO poses a challenge for multiple reasons. One reason is that the law regarding added matter is not uniform. The EPO's approach is very strict in comparison to other jurisdictions and therefore requires a different approach than the "classic" combination of specific embodiments and broad claims. This webinar will address recent developments and will shine a light on the possible challenges and pitfalls. Learn best practices and drafting considerations that not only put you in a better position during prosecution but ultimately result in stronger claims that survive post-grant proceedings at home and abroad. -
