"Gaming Law in a Nutshell discusses all aspects of gambling law, and on all levels: federal, state, tribal, local and international. It covers all forms of gaming, legal and illegal, from traditional casinos and lotteries to internet poker and e-sports, pari-mutuel betting to daily fantasy sports and social media games. Two of the nation's leading experts explain why legal gambling, one of the fastest growing industries in the world, still faces restrictions on its right to advertise or even have its contracts enforced. The Nutshell has separate discussions of many jurisdictions, including Nevada, New Jersey and other states, Macau, Canada and other countries; Indian and charity gaming; taxes; intellectual property, compulsive gambling; and, the most recent developments in the most popular forms of gaming." - publisher's description

The intersection of intellectual property law and antitrust law is busy and complicated, and there's no reason to believe that the heavy traffic will abate anytime soon. In the past year alone, the congress, regulators and courts have all made significant statements affecting the historical balance between the competing policies underlying intellectual property and antitrust law. Antitrust Issues in Intellectual Property Law focuses on recent developments, helping the IP practitioner stay informed about the law and the many ways in which antitrust law limits, disciplines, and counterbalances intellectual property law and vice versa. Topics cover antitrust issues in these areas of intellectual property law: Acquisition, procurement, and ownership Licensing Litigation Settlements under the Hatch-Waxman Act Incorporation of IP into a standard set by a standard-setting organization (SSO)

Long viewed as in conflict, today's antitrust practitioners, courts, and agencies now generally recognize that antitrust and intellectual property laws are complementary, as they both seek to promote consumer welfare by increasing competition and innovation.

By American Bar Association Antitrust Law Section. American Bar Association. 2;2021-01. 2021.
Patent misuse is an affirmative defense to an action for patent infringement or for royalties under a license that arises when the patentee engages in certain anticompetitive conduct, or conduct contrary to public policy, using the patent in suit. The misuse doctrine protects against conduct that impermissibly extends intellectual property rights beyond their lawful scope. As a result, the modern misuse doctrine straddles the intersection of intellectual property law and antitrust—it borrows from both, but is completely at home in neither. This makes misuse a challenging landscape to navigate for antitrust and intellectual property practitioners alike. This book provides an update on new developments in the law since the first edition, and provides a practical, practitioner-orientated approach to understanding and applying misuse doctrine.

Before China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Chinese IP regime was out-of-step with international standards. China has made rapid progress since then. To obtain approval for entry, it made all the necessary amendments to its Patent Law, Copyright Law, and the Trademark Law, and also revised relevant Implementation Rules to bring such measures into compliance with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Despite full compliance with these standards, the Chinese IP system still involves distinct characteristics: for example, enforcement power is divided between two powerful and independent branches of the government, which can surprise U.S. practitioners accustomed to using the judicial branch as the primary means for addressing IP infringement issues. Written by twenty legal practitioners who are extraordinarily familiar with China's intellectual property laws, this state-of-the-art book discusses and summarizes the protection …

Although licensing itself is an old tactic, organizations are implementing licensing brand extension strategies today in a much more comprehensive and brand-oriented manner. Major organizations such as Procter & Gamble, General Motors, Black & Decker, The Coca-Cola Company and TGI Fridays have each embraced licensing and developed licensing-driven marketing programs that have not only generated additional revenue (a secondary objective that used to be primary) but capitalized on brand equity, extending the marketing message broadly and authentically. Licensing has become a powerful marketing tool.

Sports is big business. By the middle part of the last decades, estimates for the total value of the sports industry in the United States ranged from over $40 billion per year to over $70 billion per year.A typical NFL franchise may now be worth more than $1 billion; a typical MLB franchise $523 million, and even a "lowly" NHL franchise as much as $240 million. Individual athletes and coaches earn multi-million salaries and similar levels of compensation for endorsement deals. College sports conferences have multi-billion television contracts and the NCAA spends nearly three quarters of a billion dollars a year. Any time lots of money flows into an industry, the need for talented and effective legal representation intensifies.Sports lawyers advise leagues and teams on a host of legal and compliance issues. Sports lawyers help professional athletes negotiate contracts with teams and develop wealth management and estate planning strategies suitable for each athlete's circumstances. Spor…

There is a distinction between a sports lawyer and all other types of practitioners.

It also necessitates an acknowledgment of and ability to effectively communicate and craft relationships with power brokers who may provide financial services, accounting, managerial services, or the like in the specific space.

By Kuhne, Cecil C. American Bar Association. 1;1. 2014.
Americans love boats for the irreplaceable pleasure they bring. And American lawyers love boaters for the endless litigation they bring. The glorious realm of boating is filled perplexing legal complications and a healthy amount of business for the trial community, too. There are hoards of people going into the water inadvertently--either from nasty capsizes that result from crossing powerful wakes, from unfortunate encounters with dreaded "sneaker waves," or from simply falling overboard after drinking too much--and these individuals often sue for damages. Engaging legal theories are also frequently involved in these boating cases. Assumption of the risk sometimes comes into play, but often with differing results, depending on the circumstances. And the doctrine of negligent entrustment of a high-speed motorboat might, for instance, become relevant when it involves a very immature 15-year-old trying to impress his girlfriend. Environmental and animal-rights issues can also arise in …

By Kuhne , Cecil C, III. American Bar Association. ;1. 2014.
Skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and other types of snow sports attract an affable and interesting mélange of people, and one has to be impressed that the sport can exert such strong influence on so wide a variety of humanity. But all glamour and eccentricities aside, skiing can be--how to say it?--dangerous. Because all skiers know the sport is somewhat hazardous, the thorny question the courts wrestle with is whether the particular risks the skier is about to encounter have been voluntarily assumed. For instance, is falling down an unmarked ravine near a ski run an "inherent danger and risk" of skiing? There are also much more novel and diverse legal questions surrounding skiing than one might imagine, including whether the Utah tourism bureau can freely use the phrase "The Greatest Snow on Earth" without offending the venerable circus trademark. And then, of course, there are the more amusing moments on the slopes, like the flight attendant who on a layover day was injured while …

The third edition of this guide to Section 337 investigations reflects insights from decades of cumulative experience before the U.S. International Trade Commission. As practice under Section 337 has increasingly grown, particularly in the last several years, so has interpretation of the law. Many precepts once taken for granted have been overruled and others have arisen that will survive until challenged in the future. This revised and essential guide provides an introduction to practice under Section 337 before the U.S. International Trade Commission for those who are not familiar with it, or for those who want a quick update about what to expect when filing a complaint or in being named as a respondent in a Section 337 investigation. A Lawyer's Guide to Section 337 Investigations Before the U.S. International Trade Commission includes informed analysis and explanation of the participants in these investigations and discusses the unique role played by the ITC.

The intersection of intellectual property law and antitrust law is busy and complicated, and there's no reason to believe that the heavy traffic will abate anytime soon. In the past year alone, the congress, regulators and courts have all made significant statements affecting the historical balance between the competing policies underlying intellectual property and antitrust law. Antitrust Issues in Intellectual Property Law focuses on recent developments, helping the IP practitioner stay informed about the law and the many ways in which antitrust law limits, disciplines, and counterbalances intellectual property law and vice versa. Topics cover antitrust issues in these areas of intellectual property law: Acquisition, procurement, and ownership Licensing Litigation Settlements under the Hatch-Waxman Act Incorporation of IP into a standard set by a standard-setting organization (SSO)

Sports is big business. By the middle part of the last decades, estimates for the total value of the sports industry in the United States ranged from over $40 billion per year to over $70 billion per year.A typical NFL franchise may now be worth more than $1 billion; a typical MLB franchise $523 million, and even a "lowly" NHL franchise as much as $240 million. Individual athletes and coaches earn multi-million salaries and similar levels of compensation for endorsement deals. College sports conferences have multi-billion television contracts and the NCAA spends nearly three quarters of a billion dollars a year.

By Heitner, Darren A. American Bar Association. 2;2018-03. 2018.
There is a distinction between a sports lawyer and all other types of practitioners. It requires a deep understanding of the nuances that largely affect athletes, their representatives, and companies providing products and services in the space. It also necessitates an acknowledgment of and ability to effectively communicate and craft relationships with power brokers who may provide financial services, accounting, managerial services, or the like in the specific space. How to Play the Game , by Miami-based attorney and sports agent Darren Heitner, is the go-to source for anyone interested in getting into the field of sports law. It discusses the laws that govern the sports industry, from contract drafting and negotiation to antitrust issues, intellectual property matters, and labor law concerns.

By American Bar Association Antitrust Law Section. American Bar Association. 2;2021-01. 2021.
Patent misuse is an affirmative defense to an action for patent infringement or for royalties under a license that arises when the patentee engages in certain anticompetitive conduct, or conduct contrary to public policy, using the patent in suit. The misuse doctrine protects against conduct that impermissibly extends intellectual property rights beyond their lawful scope. As a result, the modern misuse doctrine straddles the intersection of intellectual property law and antitrust—it borrows from both, but is completely at home in neither. This makes misuse a challenging landscape to navigate for antitrust and intellectual property practitioners alike. This book provides an update on new developments in the law since the first edition, and provides a practical, practitioner-orientated approach to understanding and applying misuse doctrine.

Before China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Chinese IP regime was out-of-step with international standards. China has made rapid progress since then. To obtain approval for entry, it made all the necessary amendments to its Patent Law, Copyright Law, and the Trademark Law, and also revised relevant Implementation Rules to bring such measures into compliance with the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS). Despite full compliance with these standards, the Chinese IP system still involves distinct characteristics: for example, enforcement power is divided between two powerful and independent branches of the government, which can surprise U.S. practitioners accustomed to using the judicial branch as the primary means for addressing IP infringement issues. Written by twenty legal practitioners who are extraordinarily familiar with China's intellectual property laws, this state-of-the-art book discusses and summarizes the protection …

By Kuhne, Cecil C. American Bar Association. 1;1. 2014.
Americans love boats for the irreplaceable pleasure they bring. And American lawyers love boaters for the endless litigation they bring. The glorious realm of boating is filled perplexing legal complications and a healthy amount of business for the trial community, too. There are hoards of people going into the water inadvertently--either from nasty capsizes that result from crossing powerful wakes, from unfortunate encounters with dreaded "sneaker waves," or from simply falling overboard after drinking too much--and these individuals often sue for damages. Engaging legal theories are also frequently involved in these boating cases. Assumption of the risk sometimes comes into play, but often with differing results, depending on the circumstances. And the doctrine of negligent entrustment of a high-speed motorboat might, for instance, become relevant when it involves a very immature 15-year-old trying to impress his girlfriend. Environmental and animal-rights issues can also arise in …

For football fans, it isn't too difficult to conjure up vivid memories of a pleasant fall afternoon on a favorite college campus—briskly and enthusiastically approaching the football stadium, proudly clad in team colors, surrounded by the excited throng of fans, the crisp air reverberating from the blare of the school fight song. Whether we graduated last year or decades earlier, that compelling anticipation doesn't dissipate much with the passage of time. College football is timeless. And so, it seems, are the controversies that surround this erstwhile endeavor filled with more than its fair share of passionate people, controversies that have resulted in a fascinating body of law. Divided into four sections—players, coaches, spectators, and the NCAA—The Little Book of College Football Law covers everything from injuries to sexual discrimination to recruiting violations to that old standby for both college and football, alcohol.

Skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, and other types of snow sports attract an affable and interesting mélange of people, and one has to be impressed that the sport can exert such strong influence on so wide a variety of humanity. But all glamour and eccentricities aside, skiing can be--how to say it?--dangerous. Because all skiers know the sport is somewhat hazardous, the thorny question the courts wrestle with is whether the particular risks the skier is about to encounter have been voluntarily assumed. For instance, is falling down an unmarked ravine near a ski run an "inherent danger and risk" of skiing? There are also much more novel and diverse legal questions surrounding skiing than one might imagine, including whether the Utah tourism bureau can freely use the phrase "The Greatest Snow on Earth" without offending the venerable circus trademark. And then, of course, there are the more amusing moments on the slopes, like the flight attendant who on a layover day was injured while …

Although licensing itself is an old tactic, organizations are implementing licensing brand extension strategies today in a much more comprehensive and brand-oriented manner. Major organizations such as Procter & Gamble, General Motors, Black & Decker, The Coca-Cola Company and TGI Fridays have each embraced licensing and developed licensing-driven marketing programs that have not only generated additional revenue (a secondary objective that used to be primary) but capitalized on brand equity, extending the marketing message broadly and authentically. Licensing has become a powerful marketing tool. As CEO of Beanstalk, a leading, New York City-based global brand licensing agency and part of the Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC), author Michael Stone has worked with companies as diverse as HGTV, the Ford Motor Company, the Coca-Cola Company and AT&T to create highly ambitious and successful strategic licensing and brand extension programs for Beanstalk's clients.
