    Copyrighting My Style
    In March 2017, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that certain articles of clothing can obtain copyright protection. This was the Varsity case. This ruling seems at odds with the previous laws of the land in which utility articles, like clothing, could not get copyright protection. Join us as we discuss the impact of Varsity in areas such as fashion, cosplay, and daily wear clothing items.

    Convention Conduct
    Comic conventions are big industry in the United States. Many conventions have well over 125,000 attendees in one weekend, at one location.  However the law does not excuse illegal conduct, even it you are dressed like Darth Vader. Review the current legal issues concerning harassment, copyright, and trademark infringement, as well as the recent California ruling in the San Diego Comicon vs. Salt Lake City Comicon case.
