About the Course

Introduction

This CLE course will provide best practices for attorneys in confronting trademark infringement and counterfeiting threats by users of social networking websites. The panel will outline strategies for businesses and their counsel to police and protect against unauthorized use of their brands on these websites.

Description

Social networking websites host billions of users worldwide, with users and sites continuing to grow exponentially. As a result, social media trademark and copyright infringement have exploded.

With the tremendous number of active monthly social media users--2.9 billion on Facebook, one billion on TikTok, one billion on Instagram, and 217 million on Twitter--companies face a constant and growing challenge for policing and protecting trademark rights effectively.

Although social networking websites allow businesses to quickly and efficiently introduce and market brands, counsel must develop a program of dynamic and evolving tools and approaches to ensure vigilant protection of copyrights and trademarks from infringement.

Listen as our authoritative panel of IP attorneys provides counsel with best practices and tools for policing and preventing unauthorized use of trademarked brands by users of Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking websites.
