8/29/2023
Artificial intelligence (AI) and digitalization have transformed trademark management. AI technologies automate tasks like trademark searches, monitoring, and enforcement. They help identify potential conflicts, track trademark portfolios, and provide data-driven insights that can inform brand strategy. They streamline processes, enhance protection and, ultimately, enable more accurate and more efficient trademark management. In the global AI ecosystem, which is increasingly sophisticated, AI-visualized big data combines AI algorithms and large-scale data analysis to enable smart searches. This is the mission of Beijing Mozlen Technology Co., Ltd. Established in December 2018, the start-up is a new supplier of AI-visualized big data SAAS (software as a service) for intelligent search and management of trademarks in China. The platform was built jointly by more than 15 Chinese trademark attorneys and senior legal technology product technical leaders. The company’s customers include well-known IP agents such as Alibaba, Baker McKenzie, Bird&Bird, Huawei, Tencent, Tiktok, among others. In May 2023, Mozlen won the award in the Start-up category of INTA’s first-ever Open Innovation Challenge, prevailing among 31 entrants. Mozlen founder and CEO Terry Zhang is the guest of this episode of Brand & New. He is the author of Trademark Practice Guide, a best-seller among trademark books in China and he brings vast experience and valuable insight on the emerging trend of AI-based solutions in trademark management and services.

Everything You Need to Know about Intellectual Property Insurance (with Jack Flug, Managing Director, Marsh)

8/1/2023
The costs of IP litigation have skyrocketed over recent years, with big cases such as Stac Electronic v. Microsoft and Fonar v. General Electric amounting to more than US $120 million in expenses. Mitigating the risks associated with being sued or having to sue a third party for intellectual property (IP) infringement has become a strategic matter for businesses. IP insurance coverage has become the cornerstone to effectively protect against those risks. What is IP insurance? From standard to specialty which types of policies truly cover IP owners' needs and their risks? Why should IP owners consider such policies? And how do these policies work in practice? The guest of this episode of Brand & New is Jack Flug, Managing Director at Marsh (USA), one of the world’s leading insurance brokers and risk advisors, operating in 130 countries and serving commercial and individual clients.

Focus on the U.S. National Cybersecurity Strategy (with James Halpert, General Counsel of the Office of the National Cyber Director, White House, USA)

6/27/2023
Established by Congress in 2021, the Office of the National Cyber Director (ONCD) advises the President of the United States on cybersecurity policy and strategy. More specifically, ONCD’s mission is to advance national security, economic prosperity, and technological innovation through cybersecurity policy leadership. In carrying out its directive, ONCD works closely with White House and interagency partners, as well as with all levels of government, the U.S.’s international allies and partners, non-profits, academia, and the private sector, to shape and coordinate federal cybersecurity policy. Recently, ONCD released the White House’s new National Cybersecurity Strategy. Although many of the Strategy’s proposed changes will hinge on congressional action, if implemented by Congress and the administration, the Strategy would have significant consequences for certain businesses, including owners and operators of critical infrastructure, software developers, cloud providers, government contractors, and businesses that handle personal information. Therefore, understanding the Strategy and its potential implications accordingly will be key for companies across all sectors. To discuss the National Cybersecurity Strategy, we welcome James Halpert, a renowned cybersecurity expert and privacy lawyer. Jim was appointed in August 2022 General Counsel of the Office of the National Cyber Director. He was before partner in the law firm DLA Piper, where he built the firm’s cybersecurity practice, advised dozens of clients on their cybersecurity programs, and counseled clients through more than 700 security incidents. Jim helped draft almost all the state private, security and breach notice laws enacted over the past 15 years, the National Association of Corporate Directors Cyber Risk Handbook, and two major U.S. federal privacy laws. Jim is an honors graduate of Yale College, Harvard Law School, and also studied in Paris.

Data Management in the Web 3.0 Era (with Greg Tulquois, Partner, DLA Piper)

5/30/2023
From headlines on ChatGPT and the like to machine learning powered application offerings, Web 3.0 seems to be all the rage these days. What seemed like technological advances reserved to niche industries or R&D or crypto nerds—such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, blockchain, and related decentralized ledger technologies—is now expanding dramatically into many aspects of the daily life of companies and individuals alike. One of the key claims of the proponents of web 3.0 is its decentralized nature and the impact this has on each person’s rights, on their assets and data. Arguably, the web 3.0 era would be the end of centralized data repositories and facilitate a more open, transparent, user-friendly approach to data management. Is this claim true and what does the web 3.0 really mean when it comes to one’s ability to manage its data? Focusing on personal data, are there any challenges raised in exercising and enforcing individuals’ rights when the data is being collected in the context of services such as virtual reality games, the metaverse, distributed ledger technologies (DLTs), or chatbots? From the perspective of the businesses operating in the web 3.0 ecosystem, what are the ways to ensure compliance and limit risks? Our guest is Greg Tulquois, Partner with the international law firm DLA Piper, where he leads the global Commercial and Contracts practice. Mr. Tulquois, who is based in Paris, France, advises businesses on the structuring/negotiation/optimization of contractual ecosystems dedicated to e-commerce, as well as the launch of new digital businesses.

IP Offices Series 3/3 - What Does it Take to Transform IP, with Kathi Vidal, Director of USPTO, USA

4/26/2023
Most organizations around the globe have faced a significant number of challenges over the last couple of years. The same can be said for intellectual property (IP) offices. From the pandemic to financial market turmoil, through supply chain issues, increased cyberthreats, IP offices have navigated these hurdles and probably more, stretching their IT, budget, and organizational resources in unexpected ways. Yet, IP asset registrations have been soaring globally, and IP offices generally seem to have been riding those waves with success, often transforming challenges into opportunities to evolve to better meet the needs of creators, businesses, and the market. Beyond their role as processors of IP applications and registrations or an inventory of registered assets, how do IPOs envision their mission in 2023? What sort of initiatives do they carry out to ensure they stay in tune with innovators, businesses big and small, and the market at large? How much of a transformative force can they be for the IP world? Our guest today is Kathi Vidal, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)—America’s Innovation Agency. As the chief executive of the USPTO, Ms. Vidal leads one of the largest IP offices in the world, with more than 13,000 employees and an annual budget of more than US $4 billion. She is the principal IP advisor to the U.S. President and its administration through the Secretary of Commerce, and is focused on incentivizing and protecting U.S. innovation, entrepreneurship, and creativity. Prior to joining the USPTO, Ms. Vidal was Managing Partner for the Silicon Valley office of the law firm Winston & Strawn, a position she held since 2017, representing both patent holders and defendants, both innovators and startup companies with limited resources, and some of the most successful and well-known companies, in U.S. courts and the International Trade Commission. She has also been deeply involved in practice before the U.S. Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), Federal Circuit appeals, and the Supreme Court. Join Ms. Vidal for a fireside chat at INTA’s upcoming 2023 Annual Meeting Live+ in Singapore. This event takes place on Thursday, May 18, 12:45 pm–1:15 pm.

IP Offices Series 2/3 - What Does it Take to Transform IP, with Marco Aleman (Assistant Director General IP and Innovation Ecosystems Sector at WIPO) & Lisa Jorgenson (WIPO Deputy DG Patents & Tech), Switzerland

3/21/2023
When we think about IP systems, we often think of national or regional IP Offices (IPOs) and policies. Yet, IPOs heavily defer to, rely on, and follow the tracks of the World IP Organization, which remain the highest authority when it comes to developing balanced and effective IP systems supporting innovation and creativity. Cooperating closely with IPOs, over the last couple of years the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) has participated in the discussions and policymaking to address most of the recent and new challenges felt by IPOs – think pandemic, export control issues, supply chain disruption, and markets turmoil – and developed tools, programs, task forces, to support IPOs efforts and more importantly IP protection and innovation through these unprecedented times. How does WIPO envision its mission in 2023? What sort of initiatives does the organization carry out to ensure they stay in tune with innovators, businesses big and small, and the market at large? How much of a transformative force is WIPO for the IP world today? To discuss WIPO’s actions and priorities, our first guest is Marco Alemán, whose role is Assistant Director General IP and Innovation Ecosystems at WIPO, which he joined in 1999. During over 20 years at WIPO, Marco Alemán assumed several key roles including Director of the Patent Law Division. Prior to joining WIPO, Marco headed the Colombian Industrial Property Office. Our second guest is Lisa Jorgenson, who has been Deputy DG Patents & Tech at WIPO for 2 years. Over the past 30 years, Lisa has served in a variety of legal positions, including Executive Director of the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) and Group Vice President, Intellectual Property and Licensing, of STMicroelectronics, where she spent over 24 years.

IP in Space: From Science Fiction To Science Fact Guests (with Sheja Ehtesham, ALG India Law Offices LLP, India and Clark Lackert, World Trade Centers Association’s Deputy General Counsel, USA)

1/17/2023
If there is a concern that is almost never factored in by most intellectual property (IP) practitioners when managing their asset portfolios, it may well be what happens to those assets in outer space! However, as the scientific community continues to explore and study outer space, it's likely that practitioners may soon experience a certain sense of urgency, the question not being if but when some research or manufacturing activities will be outsourced to outer space or when space resources will be mined. This will be a major commercial shift away from Earth into a space economy, projected to grow to US $1 trillion by 2040. So, who will have the right to claim and profit from these resources and related IP rights? Will there be a new “IP Gold Rush,” where companies create rights as soon as they can? Many industries, such as space tourism and manufacturing, will be impacted. Think for a moment about the ownership of the rights to images produced by space tourists, or manufacturing that will be moving to a gravity free environment. Beyond these examples, the key issues of who owns what and who can profit from IP assets created off planet become increasingly important as we continue to explore and commercialize outer space. In this podcast, we'll be discussing the current state of the IP law in space, the need to act at the national and international levels to develop a clear legal framework and to be prepared for what the future may hold for IP in the evolving space economy. Our guests today, who have been actively involved in the INTA Project Team on IP in Space, are experts in this area. Our first guest is Sheja Ehtesham, who is the Managing Partner at ALG India Law Offices LLP, an Intellectual Property firm in India. Ms. Ehtesham is ranked among the world’s leading trademark law practitioners. Her practice focuses on IP enforcement and prosecution strategies. She works with her clients to devise global brand filing strategies that align with their business requirements and advises clients in strategizing negotiations. She has also successfully represented several clients in domain name dispute proceedings. Ms. Ehtesham has been an active INTA member for nearly 15 years. Our second guest is Clark Lackert, who is current Deputy General Counsel for the World Trade Centers Association. Prior to joining this association, Clark spent over 20 years as a partner in major international law firms, focused on trademark, copyright, domain name, licensing, and anticounterfeiting matters, with an expertise in the international area. Mr. Lackert is a domain name arbitrator for the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and has been a consultant with the U.S. government on the implementation of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs).

IP Reporting – The New Must-Have of a Sound IP Management Strategy (with Zeeger Vink, INTA 2022 President & IP Director at MF Brands Group)

12/6/2022
In an economy where intangibles increasingly drive economic growth, reporting to shareholders, lenders, and the market more generally on substantial intellectual property (IP) assets, IP management, and IP strategies have become an expectation for any company – whether young or established. Consequently, IP reporting is increasingly impacting the practice of IP professionals across all industries and can constitute a competitive advantage for businesses and their IP departments. However, IP reporting goes way beyond IP inventory and legal management and extends into matters including asset valuation and accounting procedures, among many others, and necessitates cooperation across departments, alignment on objectives, and the design and implementation of internal processes to support IP reporting through time. To discuss this topic and related trends on IP management, our guest is INTA 2022 President Zeeger Vink (MF Brands Group, Switzerland). Over the past year, Mr. Vink has served as the chair of INTA’s Planning Committee and Advocacy Group, and as a member of the Executive and Finance Committees. He has been a member of INTA’s Board since 2015, and actively engaged in many Association initiatives through his tenure. Notably, and as it relates to this month’s podcast, Mr. Vink convened a Presidential Task Force on IP Reporting for Brands at the start of the year, which is preparing a report on the topic due for publication in early 2023. Based in Geneva, Switzerland, he is the IP Director at MF Brands Group, the Swiss group that owns fashion and lifestyle brands LACOSTE, GANT, AIGLE, TECNIFIBRE and THE KOOPLES. In this role with MF Brands Group, he oversees the organization’s global IP and brand protection function. Prior joining MF Brands Group in 2010, Mr. Vink was in-house IP counsel at L’OREAL in Paris, France, where he oversaw global IP protection for several brands. He started his career as attorney, practicing in Amsterdam and London. Brand & New is a production of the International Trademark Association Hosted by Audrey Dauvet - Contribution of M. Halle & S.

Tackling One of the Most Critical Threats: Counterfeit Drugs (with Rory Corcoran, Assistant Director, Organized and Emerging Crime Directorate, INTERPOL, repost of November 2021)

10/18/2022
Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment. Over these last few months, public authorities have warned citizens about the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of counterfeit prescription pills. These counterfeit drugs are mass-produced by criminal drug networks in labs, deceptively marketed as legitimate pills, and sometimes even killing unsuspecting or vulnerable individuals. Fueled by easy Internet sales, global supply routes, and minimal effective punishments, counterfeit prescription drugs have become an exploding industry worth over US $75 billion a year worldwide, and at the same time, a massive economic, social, and public health issue. This trend has been reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which fueled a global demand for medical supplies and medications. What is the reality of this underground market at the global scale? How big of a threat are fake medications? What are the impacts, from an economic perspective as well as social and healthcare perspectives? What is the role of international organizations such as Interpol, focused on fighting criminal acts? Our guest is Rory Corcoran, Assistant Director, Organized and Emerging Crime Directorate, INTERPOL, the global network of police forces representing 194 member countries, making it the world’s largest police organization, sharing data on crimes and criminals. Mr. Corcoran joined INTERPOL in 2018 and is now responsible for overseeing several of its organized crimes programs, including Environmental Security, and Illicit Goods and Global Health. Most recently, he has been in charge of leading INTERPOL’s worldwide fight against COVID-19-related crime. He has over 30 years of experience in law enforcement and spent the majority of his career in the Irish Counter Terrorism Unit and the Irish National Economic Crime Bureau.

International Sanctions, Export Compliance, and IP: A New Landmine for Businesses to Navigate (with Ethan Heinz, Counsel, Dentons)

9/6/2022
As businesses try to navigate the broader macro-economic problems caused by the Russian aggression – such as rising energy prices, disrupted supply routes, inflation, currency fluctuations, financial markets volatility, etc. – , they are also facing new regulations, as a result of the international sanctions taken against Russia following its declaration of war on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Indeed, several governments and international organizations, mainly led by the U.S. and the E.U., massively expanded pre existing sanctions on Russian individuals and businesses right on the day the war started. Almost overnight, the Russian government responded in kind, with sanctions against many countries and international organizations. Today, we discuss the most recent set of international sanctions against Russia, what they mean for businesses, and how to practically navigate the challenges they raise. Our guest today is Ethan Heinz, attorney and counsel at Dentons. Currently based in Prague in Czech Republic, Ethan focuses on M&A/corporate work, sanctions, ABC, and other compliance work in the European region. Ethan worked in the Dentons Moscow office for over 13 years and continues to assist international and Russian companies on compliance issues involving Russia and neighboring jurisdictions, in particular with respect to the sanctions programs of the US, EU and other jurisdictions, and also with respect to the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act, and other anti-bribery regulations. He also advises from time to time on shareholder conflicts and commercial disputes, and has participated in various arbitrations, litigations and mediations.

Tax Implications Across the Trademark Lifecycle in Europe (with Jeff Marowits, President of Client Services, Keystone Strategy, and Scott Phillips, Managing Director, Epsilon Economics, U.S.A)

8/2/2022
Taxes likely don’t spring to mind when discussing IP management and IP law practice generally. Yet, as assets to every organization, IP rights, including trademarks, have financial and tax implications that are critical from a financial and business perspective, and cannot be dismissed or overridden by IP professionals. To address this topic, INTA released in May of this year a new report dedicated to tax implications across the trademark lifecycle in the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. A couple of months after the release of an OECD report on Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules covering the tax challenges arising from the digitalization of the economy, the INTA report is particularly timely and provides critical insights for IP owners and IP law practitioners alike. To discuss the report, authored by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), we welcome today Jeff Marowits and Scott Phillips, both members of INTA’s Research Advisory Council, and both intimately involved in the report. Jeff Marowits is the President of Client Services at Keystone Strategy, where his practice focuses on IP, including patent, trademark, and copyright issues, transfer pricing, contractual disputes, business strategy, and public advocacy. Mr. Marowits enjoys over 20 years of experience guiding top technology firms on crucial strategic, legal, and regulatory challenges. His work includes partnering with global law firms representing clients in the technology and social media industries. Scott Phillips is a Certified Public Accountant and Managing Director at Epsilon Economics. His expertise focuses on the economic aspects of trademarks, brands, advertising, reputation, and related areas. With that, he assists companies in valuation and strategy projects, and has provided expert testimony in federal district, state, bankruptcy, and tax courts in commercial disputes involving trademark infringement, false advertising, unfair competition, brand valuation, and related matters. Prior to joining Epsilon Economics in 2017, Mr. Phillips served as vice president at Charles River Associates, as a leader of its trademark practice.

Engineering Innovation (with Duncan Wardle, Innovation Consultant, Founder of ID8 & Innov8, initially posted in May 2021)

7/19/2022
Companies need to be innovative to get their brands noticed – among customers, partners, employees – and ultimately to thrive from a business perspective. And this concern for innovation shows, at least on paper. In 2012, a report by The Wall Street Journal that remains relevant and cited today reported interesting infographics: over 250 books published in the last 90 days had the word “innovation” in the title, 43% of the companies surveyed had a Chief Innovation Officer, and the term “innovation” was one of the most used words in financial reports of U.S. public companies. In sum, we have been hearing the term “innovation” everywhere and have been made to believe in its importance for almost two decades. Yet, while we all have a sense that innovation is not the privilege of the Silicon Valley, MIT, or Japanese research labs, and that it does not necessarily relate only to product features, the actual meaning of the notion remains somehow nebulous and difficult to pin down. So who else than the innovation culture guru Duncan Wardle, based in the U.S., to talk about this essential topic today? Having worked at Disney for 25 years, most recently as Head of Innovation and Creativity, Duncan now serves as an independent innovation consultant, and founder of the company ID8 & Innov8, helping companies embed a culture of innovation and creativity. His unique process called “Design Thinking” helps people capture unlikely connections, leading to both fresh thinking and revolutionary ideas. Leaning on his experience at Disney, Duncan's unique approach not only places the end user at the core of the creative process but also looks in new places to uncover insights for innovation and truly disruptive ideas. Unsurprisingly, Duncan is a multiple Ted X speaker and contributor to Fast Company magazine. He teaches Innovation and Design Thinking Masterclasses at various universities including Yale University, in the U.S. This episode of Brand&New is sponsored by Brainbase. Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment.

IP Compliance: Key Risks and Solutions in the Real and Virtual Worlds (with Nathalie Dreyfus, Founding Partner of Dreyfus & Partners, and Nathalie Sabek, Head of Compliance, Financial Security and Know Your Customer Policy, BNP Paribas, Paris, France)

7/5/2022
Codes of Business Conduct and Ethics Charters are powerful tools for companies to foster and re-affirm their culture of integrity and their values, based on compliance with laws and regulations. These inward and outward-facing documents provide a framework of expectations for each of their employees, as well as on the other stakeholders, from shareholders to customers and suppliers. All business partners are on the same boat, sharing fundamental principles as responsible citizens such as trust and commitment to the environment and to society at large. Intellectual property (IP) can have direct and indirect connections with compliance issues, as a vector of risk. Think of counterfeiting or identity theft. Think of money laundering, where violation of IP ownership may help to easily launder proceeds of crime because of weak law enforcement and of the difficulty to determine the final destination of the financial flows. And, needless to say, digital innovations, such as Web3, add another layer of complexity. Our guests explore the links between IP and he key challenges it raises for businesses in all economic sectors from a compliance perspective. First, Nathalie Dreyfus, a French and European trademark attorney, is the founding partner of Dreyfus & Partners, an IP firm established in 2004 and based in Paris, France. For the past 25 years, she has been advising clients in all areas of IP, from valorization to prosecution and enforcement matters in the real and virtual worlds. Ms. Dreyfus is an academic, author of several works and articles, and the editor of the Dreyfus Blog on legal news related to trademarks, patents, copyrights, Internet, and new technologies. Our second guest, Nathalie Sabek, has been since 2015 the head of Financial Security and Know Your Customer Policy at International Retail Banking of BNP Paribas, the leading bank in the European Union and a major international banking player with a presence in in 65 countries. She began her career as an IP professional and previously worked as head of Legal & Compliance at banks in Africa and the United Arab Emirates.

Art & Financial Technology: A Match Made in the Metaverse Heaven (with Anne Bracegirdle, VP Business Development, Metaversal, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA)

6/7/2022
Just by reading the news, the metaverse seems like a storm of experiential, edgy, immersive technology poised at the juncture of art, entertainment, social media, and crypto currency. With that, we are told the metaverse has the potential to revolutionize the art world. Storage, location, display, transparency, authenticity and accessibility are the stumbling blocks to experiencing or owning fine art – Yet the metaverse theoretically provides a platform for creators, commentators, critics, galleries and collectors to transcend all of these issues. Is the metaverse really turning the art world upside down? How much of this remains a mirage, and how much of it is already a structured, working, money-making ecosystem? How critical is financial technology in powering this new art market? Our guest today is Anne Bracegirdle, vice president of Business Development at Metaversal, and based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. Her expertise focuses on the intersection between the art world and technology. As noted on Metaversal’s website, Ms. Bracegirdle “has been preaching about non-fungible tokens (NFTs) in the art world since before it was cool.” Prior to joining Metaversal, she spent nearly a decade at Christie’s, with her last role being associate vice president in charge of the Art+Tech initiative, before turning to art tech first by joining Superblue as its senior director for Special Projects, and then co-founding the Art & Antiquities Blockchain, a consortium of women from diverse professional backgrounds providing unparalleled expertise in cultural heritage issues.

5/24/2022
Internet of Things, wearables, smart houses, connected cars … We now hear about these technologies and their promising potential in our lives on a daily basis. However, most of us do not necessarily grasp the broad ecosystem they rely on, and the variety of issues they deal with from a legal perspective. Luke Dembosky and Jim Pastore, both partners at the multi-awarded law firm Debevoise & Plimpton in the U.S., explain in this episode how connected devices and more generally Internet of Things solutions increase cybersecurity and privacy threats.

Luke co-chairs the law firm’s Cybersecurity & Data Privacy practice and is based in Washington, D.C., after years working on cyber issues mostly as a prosecutor with the U.S. Department of Justice.
