KC Event Synopsis:
In 2006, the Supreme Court rejected the notion that there is a presumption of irreparable harm upon a showing of infringement regarding whether to grant a permanent injunction in patent cases in eBay v. MercExchange. Since then, both the appellate and district courts inconsistently have addressed a presumption of irreparable harm in Lanham Act cases. In October 2014, the Supreme Court denied certiorari in Herb Reed Enterprises L.L.C. v. Florida Entertainment Management Inc. Hence, plaintiffs in Lanham Act cases must take caution to show irreparable harm to obtain injunctive relief. Trademark and false advertising counsel now must present sufficient evidence in most courts demonstrating that failure to issue an injunction will cause irreparable harm.
The Knowledge Group has assembled an authoritative panel of thought leaders to provide the audience with an in-depth review and analysis of Lanham Act cases considering the required showing of proof of irreparable harm. This CLE webinar will help trademark counsel and others understand the treatment of irreparable harm by federal courts around the country since the eBay v. MercExchange decision. The panel will also discuss the requirements and strategies used to both demonstrate and disprove irreparable harm.
In a two-hour live webcast, the speakers will discuss:
§ Irreparable Harm and Lanham Act Law- An Overview
§ The eBay v. MercExchange decision
§ Adoption (or not) of eBay in Lanham Act cases by the various circuit courts
§ What constitutes irreparable harm in trademark cases
§ Types of evidence used to demonstrate irreparable harm
§ Strategies for challenging the assertion of irreparable harm
§ Proving irreparable harm in false advertising cases
