Volume 2, Issue 1 (2012) Spring 2012
Welcome to the Forum. The Forum is Pace Law School's first online publication dedicated to the discussion of emerging legal issues in the Intellectual Property, Sports and Entertainment law fields. The Forum promotes integrity, creativity, collaboration and the free exchange of ideas between students, practitioners, professionals and academia alike. We are proud to announce the publication of our second volume more than double the size of our first. Explore the volume’s wide range of topics touching on Trade Dress and Trademarks, ICE seizures, the Creative Commons license, major cases Mattel, Inc. v. MGA Entertainment, Inc and Deutscher Tennis Bund v. ATP World Tour and focusing on a few of the several issues that arise in sports law in the United States and abroad.
We encourage you to read more and view the articles from our inaugural volume last year discussing the DMCA, Choreography Rights, Employment Law, Fashion Law, and the ever-elusive Trade Secret Law.
