Skyscrapers aren't just engineering marvels, they're intellectual property battlegrounds where creativity meets the courtroom. Welcome to the fascinating world where distinctive buildings become trademarked brands, architectural blueprints trigger million-dollar lawsuits, and even tourist photographs might infringe copyright.Our journey begins with trade dress protection for buildings so distinctive they function as logos. The Hard Rock Hotel's 450-foot guitar shape earned trademark protection for being "inherently distinctive." At the same time, the geometrically interesting Palacio del Rio learned the hard way that being architecturally notable isn't enough, you need instant brand recognition. When your building makes people stop and stare, it might just be eligible for trademark protection.We then explore the often-overlooked protection for architectural plans. Blueprints aren't merely technical documents but creative works with automatic copyright protection. From the UK to Canada to Australia, courts have awarded substantial damages when developers use another's plans without permission. The message is clear: copying isn't just copying and pasting, using someone's creative layout without authorization is litigation waiting to happen.The laws governing the photography of buildings create another layer of complexity. "Freedom of panorama" determines whether you can snap, share, or sell images of buildings in public spaces, with drastically different rules worldwide. The Eiffel Tower exemplifies this peculiar legal landscape, the structure itself is in the public domain. Still, its twinkling lights remain under copyright protection, meaning your nighttime Paris photo could technically require permission for commercial use.Perhaps most fascinating is the tension between owning a building and owning its design. When a Brazilian paint company used a home's image on product labels with the owner's permission but without consulting the architect, the courts sided with the architect. Similarly, when a German museum planned renovations requiring the removal of an architectural art installation, the Federal Court had to weigh property rights against creative moral rights.Whether you're an architect protecting your vision, a developer navigating permissions, or simply someone who appreciates beautiful spaces, understanding these intersecting legal frameworks helps you navigate the built environment more responsibly. Because great design deserves more than admiration, it deserves legal protection, proper credit, and sometimes, a really good lawyer.Subscribe now to explore more intellectual property frontiers where creativity and commerce collide in unexpected ways.Send us a text

So there are definitely some ethics things we need to talk about in regards to AI. Intellectual property rights have long been an issue in the yoga space (I can't be the only one who has had stuff blatantly stolen), and this issue carries over to AI.Key Takeaways:*Labor unions are a particular love of mine. I have a deep desire to see us collectively organize within North America so that we can be better informed and advocate for ourselves in the world. I think this is especially important for us in the yoga therapy space as we slide into so many different and diverse places that seek to use our tools (like meditation, breathwork, and lifestyle and philosophy principles) to improve the live for humans they see and interact with.*Why would you work so hard to be part of a system that isn't working??? YES. This can be true for healthcare, toxic yoga studio spaces, and training programs that are not run ethically. Don't get me wrong, I *totally* have been a part of a toxic yoga space, but the desire that yoga and yoga therapy as an industry has to integrate into a system that isn't looking to the best interest of the humans who use it, is…well…not us. Some might call it gross or appropriative, even. *Let's talk about this idea of AI not being able to generate a personalized program. I think that it won't be too long before AI absolutely can do that. And I mean, like, next Tuesday. So what else are we offering besides the ability to personalize a program? Maybe it is less about the personalization of the program and more about being seen as a whole person by another human in front of you.*The joy of the struggle is something that has come up several times on this series, and was first mentioned in episode one by J Brown. There IS something to us struggling through finding ideas, and learning to be a better yoga professional. I can now say, with confidence, that I have done everything there is to do in the yoga space. Yoga teacher, therapist, studio owner, non-profit founder, trainer, writer, speaker. Do we have an EGOT? Cuz I think I have it. And no matter the number of times people have asked me “how did you do all that”, my answer is always “be so good your work is undeniable”. And you don't get good if you don't struggle. *The perspective that Melissa brings about yoga therapy and hours of work per week is a really important one. She is right—most yoga therapists are working at max 15 hours a week. Because the work is incredibly difficult, especially as we strive to be incredibly present with our clients. So maybe we need to be discussing that a little bit more as an industry whole, eh? *YOGA HAS A POVERTY PROBLEM. This is gonna be a key takeaway every time I say it on the podcast. The difference between poverty and scarcity is this: *Using AI to create trainings!! How are the organizations that certify our trainings and making sure that they are actual humans writing training manuals? As Melissa said, “doing the work is a part of your profession as an ethical human being”. Yeah, that times 20000. *Protecting our intellectual property is something that we should be talking about and training our students about. Maybe I should find someone to consult and make best practices for intellectual property management for the yoga community, eh? That feels like something we desperately need. *Our humanity and connection with each other will be something that is not replicable by tech or AI. If you have ever interacted with an LLM (large language model) AI, you will notice that they are programmed for likeability. Have you ever thought to yourself, “This is the most girly-pop AI I have ever met?”. I sure have. But true likeability and connection don't feel false, true trust involves questioning people's thought process if they need it, and being truly seen and known as a human is something that is a core need of all people.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterTell Us A Story!

From the minute we are born, we become tax slaves to the State. We are issued our identification numbers, injected with poisonous vaccines, and put on the stroll to earn some money for our pimp in Washington D.C. There are ways to break free, and Bradley Freedom can explain how to do it with Freedom Pillars. There is currently institutional control of the five pillars, but there are ways to stop being government property. His newest software venture is Chain Recorder, which runs on the Bitcoin blockchain and provides verification services for industries looking to add documents to the permanent record. Intellectual Property will eventually be moving to the blockchain as a way of documenting ownership, combined with timestamping. It is certainly better than filing documents at the county clerk's office.

Whether AI training and generation is a fair use under copyright law puts two important American business sectors in opposition, and each looks to the various branches of the federal government for answers. Fundamentally, essentially all training of AI models involves copying of copyrighted materials, and many outputs from AI systems also may be substantially similar to copyrighted material and thus infringing if they are not fair uses.On May 9, 2025, the U.S. Copyright Office released a pre-publication version of the third and final part of its report on Copyright and AI, focused on Generative AI Training. The report concludes that some is fair use but some is not, and urges that existing efforts to engage in licensing of copyrighted content continue. Meanwhile, over forty cases on the issue are ongoing in the United States alone, with cases ongoing in another eight nations as well. The District Court in Delaware has ruled that at least one such case was not a fair use, and further rulings are expected soon from around the country. Meanwhile the White House has indicated an interest in AI policy and may have its own prerogatives.Leading experts will discuss the issue and answer questions on this fast-moving and important issue.Featuring:Meredith Rose, Senior Policy Counsel, Public KnowledgeRegan Smith, Senior Vice President & General Counsel, News/Media AllianceModerator: Zvi Rosen, Assistant Professor, Southern Illinois University School of Law

What's your intellectual property truly worth when it's on the line? Not what you hope or what you feel, but what courts, investors, and negotiators will actually pay. This episode of Intangiblia dives deep into the high-stakes world of IP valuation, where patents, trademarks, and copyrights transform from abstract legal protections into concrete dollar amounts.We journey through landmark global IP disputes that have defined how creative assets are valued in courtrooms from California to Colombia. The Samsung v. Apple design patent battle set precedent for how much of a product's profit can be attributed to its appearance. Epic Systems v. Tata Consultancy Services revealed the billion-dollar worth of trade secrets when they cross into competitors' hands. Meanwhile, cases like Liffers in Spain demonstrate that even moral rights, the right to be credited for your work, carry financial value that courts will recognize and enforce.The podcast unpacks three essential valuation methodologies that every creator should understand: cost-based (what it took to create), market-based (what others pay for similar assets), and income-based (what future earnings it will generate). Through fascinating case studies across industries, from pharmaceuticals to streaming services, sneakers to smartphones, we see how these approaches play out in real disputes with massive financial implications.Beyond methodology, we explore how valuation strategies differ across borders, with emerging economies like India pushing back against one-size-fits-all licensing rates, and Mexico's courts mandating that IP damages reflect genuine commercial impact. The digital transformation adds another layer of complexity, as shown in Disney v. Redbox, where even access codes carried enforceable intellectual property value.Whether you're protecting your creative work, licensing your technology, or facing infringement, this episode delivers a crucial message: in intellectual property, real power lies not just in registration but in pricing. Because in the world of IP, value isn't what you feel, it's what you can prove.Send us a text

In light of the release of Victoria's landmark truth telling inquiry, we are re-releasing this important ChangeMaker Chat with Terri Janke, one of Australia's leading advocates for the recognition of Indigenous cultural and intellectual property. --------Terri Janke is an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Lawyer who uses the law to protect and advance Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property. As a Meriam and Wuthathi woman who grew up in Cairns in northern Queensland, for over 20 years she has crafted a set of legal instruments that allow for the protection of Indigenous Culture. From an Indigenous perspective, Culture is the embodiment of life, and it can be represented in anything from art to dance, from bones to research. She is well recognised across Australia for her work in protecting Indigenous Culture using a series of True Track protocols that enable Indigenous Culture to be recognised as intellectual property. Here she explains her journey and how she found the law. She explores her ICIP principles and then applies them to the process of research, and in particular Country-based ‘placed-based' research. This is a powerful conversation for non-Indigenous listeners as Terri generously shares an Indigenous perspective on Culture that is very different to white understandings of culture.For more about Terri's work you can visit her website – https://www.terrijanke.com.au/. Or read her book True Tracks, available from UNSW Press.For more on ChangeMakers check us out:Via our Website - https://changemakerspodcast.org (where you can also sign up to our email list!)On Facebook, Instagram, Threads - https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMakersPodcast/Blue Sky Social - changemakerspod.bsky.aocial & amandatattersall.bsky.socialOn X/Twitter - @changemakers99 or @amandatattsOn LinkedIn - Amanda.Tattersall Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Post-Grant Podcast, Andy Zappia, Nick Gallo, and Bryan Smith explore the evolving landscape of estoppel in inter partes review (IPR) and post-grant review (PGR) proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The discussion centers around the recent Federal Circuit decision in the Ingenico case, which narrows the scope of IPR estoppel, and its potential tension with the PTAB's current approach to discretionary denial. The team delves into the implications of this decision for patent challengers, particularly in light of new PTAB guidance and recent cases that highlight the complexities of navigating estoppel and discretionary denial.

Dive headfirst into the surprisingly cutthroat world of luxury watch intellectual property battles where the stakes are as high as the price tags. From Swiss ateliers to Silicon Valley boardrooms, the gloves come off when horological heavyweights defend their creations against customizers, competitors, and counterfeiters alike.When does personalization cross into infringement? The Rolex cases against Artisans de Genève and Becker Time reveal the fine line between owning a watch and owning its identity. We explore how courts have split hairs over modified dials, aftermarket bezels, and what it truly means for a timepiece to be "genuine" in the eyes of trademark law. Meanwhile, Vortic's vintage Hamilton restoration saga offers hope for artisans who respect heritage while creating something new.The battlefield extends beyond physical watches into digital domains. Samsung faced Swatch Group's wrath over app store watch faces mimicking luxury dials, while Richemont convinced courts to make internet service providers block counterfeit websites altogether. Even tech giant Apple wasn't immune when Swatch cheekily registered "Tick Different" and "One More Thing" trademarks, leaving the Cupertino company with no choice but to rebrand their smartwatch.Perhaps most fascinating is Audemars Piguet's global quest to protect their revolutionary Royal Oak design—a struggle revealing how difficult it is to claim exclusive rights to shapes that have defined entire categories. And as watches evolve into health monitors, AliveCor's patent war against Apple Watch's ECG feature shows us what happens when traditional horology collides with cutting-edge medical technology.Whether you're a watch enthusiast, legal professional, or simply fascinated by the intersection of luxury and law, these cases illuminate five timeless principles governing intellectual property in the modern marketplace.

On January 17, the Biden-Harris Administration added 15 new drugs, including Ozempic, to the list of drugs covered by the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Now there are a total of 25 drugs that are covered by the IRA’s requirement that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) pays only a “fair price” for selected drugs covered by Medicare Part D. The new prices are set to take effect on January 1, 2027. What implications does this have for patients and for drug research and development? Join the discussion on the 'fair price' mandate and its impact on pharmaceutical innovation. Featuring: Lisa Ouellette, Deane F.

The beautiful game has transformed into something far more complex than 22 players chasing a ball. Today's football exists as a sophisticated intellectual property ecosystem worth billions, where legal battles off the pitch often carry stakes as high as championship finals.From broadcasting rights that form the financial lifeblood of leagues worldwide to domain name disputes protecting women's tournaments, this episode takes you behind the scenes of football's invisible legal infrastructure. We explore landmark cases including Spain's €31.6 million judgment against streaming platform Roja Directa, the surprising $40 million award to the inventors of referee's vanishing spray, and Manchester United's curious lawsuit against Football Manager for using their name but not their logo.The player perspective receives special attention through cases involving Messi, Neymar, and Ronaldo's fights to control their own names as valuable commercial assets. We also examine Project Red Card's groundbreaking challenge to the uncompensated commercialization of player performance data – potentially reshaping how personal statistics are treated across all sports.Whether you're fascinated by sports business, intellectual property, or simply curious about the legal machinery powering the world's favorite sport, this episode delivers five essential takeaways that extend far beyond football. Discover why exclusivity isn't about ego but economics, how small innovations can yield massive legal victories, and why your name is only truly yours if you claim it through proper legal channels.

AI is increasingly viewed as a potential co-creator of text, images, videos, music, and audio. However, in March of 2023 the US Copyright Office expressed the view that ‘copyright can protect only material that is the product of human creativity.' In this episode Claudia Ray, a partner in the New York office of Kirkland & Ellis, a major law firm with a distinguished IP practice, discusses the important questions of intellectual property raised by the newly emerging artificial intelligence technologies, particularly large language models like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard.

Kevin Werbach interviews Dale Cendali, one of the country's leading intellectual property (IP) attorneys, to discuss how courts are grappling with copyright questions in the age of generative AI. Over 30 lP awsuits already filed against major generative AI firms, and the outcomes may shape the future of AI as well as creative industries. While we couldn't discuss specifics of one of the most talked-about cases, Thomson Reuters v. ROSS -- because Cendali is litigating it on behalf of Thomson Reuters -- she drew on her decades of experience in IP law to provide an engaging look at the legal battlefield and the prospects for resolution.  Cendali breaks down the legal challenges around training AI on copyrighted materials—from books to images to music—and explains why these cases are unusually complex for copyright law. She discusses the recent US Copyright Office report on Generative AI training, what counts as infringement in AU outputs, and what is sufficient human authorship for copyirght protection of AI works. While precedent offers some guidance, Cendali notes that outcomes will depend heavily on the specific facts of each case. The conversation also touches on how well courts can adapt existing copyright law to these novel technologies, and the prospects for a legislative solution. Dale Cendali is a partner at Kirkland & Ellis, where she leads the firm's nationwide copyright, trademark, and internet law practice. She has been named one of the 25 Icons of IP Law and one of the 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America. She also serves as an advisor to the American Law Institute's Copyright Restatement project and sits on the Board of the International Trademark Association.

Authors often ask us for our advice about publishing models and whether traditional is better, or worse, than indie/self publishing. So this week, we're bringing you an interview with writer and podcaster, Matty Dalrymple. Matty also happens to be the Campaigns Manager for ALLi (the Alliance of Independent Authors) and she takes us through what she calls the ABCs of the traditional and indie publishing paths. This interview isn't meant to sway you in one director or another. Rather, we want to highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each path, and of course, we want let you know that whichever one you choose, ALLi is an invaluable source of information - much of which is free! - V.

Genius doesn't come with a price tag until someone tries to take it from you. When brilliant minds create groundbreaking innovations during employment, who truly owns these inventions? This fascinating legal arena pits creators against corporations in battles that can span decades and result in multi-million-dollar verdicts.Meet John Peterson, the engineer who refused to surrender his weekend projects to a convenience store chain that claimed everything he created, even off the clock. His story of fighting Bukies' overreaching employment contract offers a masterclass in standing up for your intellectual property rights. Then there's Professor Shanks, whose glucose biosensor technology earned his employer £24 million. In comparison, he received nothing until a twenty-year legal battle culminated in a £2 million award and a landmark UK Supreme Court decision on "outstanding benefit."From patent grammar wars where a single verb tense determined ownership of HIV diagnostic technology to post-employment clauses that tried to claim an inventor's future ideas, we explore the fine print that can make or break inventor fortunes. We'll take you around the globe from Germany's sophisticated formulas for inventor compensation to China's statutory minimum payouts, revealing how different legal systems value creative minds. Whether you're sketching brilliance on napkins or developing prototypes in corporate labs, understanding your rights as an inventor has never been more crucial. As workplace innovation drives the modern economy, the law is finally catching up to ensure the minds behind the magic receive their fair share.Send us a text

In 1710, the British Parliament passed a piece of legislation entitled An Act for the Encouragement of Learning. It became known as the Statute of Anne, and it was the world's first copyright law. Copyright protects and regulates a piece of work - whether that's a book, a painting, a piece of music or a software programme. It emerged as a way of balancing the interests of authors, artists, publishers, and the public in the context of evolving technologies and the rise of mechanical reproduction. Writers and artists such as Alexander Pope, William Hogarth and Charles Dickens became involved in heated debates about ownership and originality that continue to this day - especially with the emergence of artificial intelligence.

Ever wondered what happens when your right to resell clashes with someone else's trademark? The secondary market is booming—from luxury perfumes to used hard drives and even virtual farm animals—but these second lives come with surprising legal complications.Secondary markets aren't just about thrift store finds anymore. They're complex ecosystems where intellectual property law determines what you can truly do with the things you've purchased. Through a global tour of fascinating court cases, we unpack the legal principles that govern reselling, refurbishing, and reimagining products across physical and digital realms.In Norway, a phone repair shop learned the hard way that erasing Apple logos from replacement screens doesn't erase their legal obligations. Meanwhile, in India, courts embraced refurbished Seagate hard drives as sustainability wins. The digital world presents even thornier questions—can you resell an e-book like a paperback? (Spoiler: European courts say no.) And what about those $133,000 "MetaBirkin" NFTs that landed an artist in hot water with Hermès?From Brazilian video game importers to Italian pharmaceutical repackagers, we explore how trademark exhaustion works differently across borders. You'll discover why Chanel fights so hard to control where its perfumes are sold, how Zynga protected its virtual cows from unauthorized trading, and what happens when Finnish axes travel from North America to the Czech Republic without permission.Whether you're flipping consoles, fixing phones, or minting NFTs of luxury handbags, understanding these landmark cases could save you from accidental infringement. Secondary markets provide real benefits—reducing waste and extending product lifecycles—but navigating them legally requires knowing when ownership ends and intellectual property begins.Subscribe to Intangiblia for more plain talk about complex IP issues that affect everyday transactions in our increasingly digital marketplace.

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver.  www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Katie Gatti Tassin is the author of the "Money with Katie" newsletter and podcast, both acquired by Morning Brew in 2022. Katie provides fresh personal finance advice with a unique outlook, coupled with deep, self-taught knowledge.  Before founding Money with Katie in 2020, she worked professionally in marketing and user experience design for Southwest Airlines, Dell Technologies, and Meta. She's the author of Rich Girl Nation: Taking Charge of Our Financial Futures. Notes: If you're not curious about it, you're not going to give it your all. But if you are, you can become relentless. Chase your curiosity and obsessions with great rigor. That passion and love for whatever the thing is can lead to big opportunities in your life. Do you want 100% of a grape or 25% of a watermelon? Advice Katie got when she was considering accepting the offer to be acquired by Morning Brew. The importance of having a coach. Katie talked about the life-changing impact her coach, Elizabeth, has had on her. Ambitious, motivated people who have high standards need help, too. In fact, maybe as much as anyone. It's worth it to invest in yourself and find a person to talk with 1 on 1. Parents - High expectations, straight A's or bust. Driven, hard to turn it off. The Morning Brew acquisition - Money with Katie. Worked at Meta and did Money with Katie at the same time. Left for the acquisition. Austin Rief (CEO) DM'd her on Twitter and made an offer during their first 30-minute conversation. Big lesson - Your IP is everything. Book Dedication - “To the anonymous guy who 'works in finance' that used to relentlessly comment on my nascent website in 2018, urging me to quit writing about money and 'keep it to myself. I hope you're well." Acknowledgments - “Mom, for all those quiet days spent sitting on the floor of the Lents branch library or wandering the stacks at Barnes & Noble. Dad, for spending your time after work at the kitchen table with me every time my homework involved numbers, and for being my number one fan.” How much money do you need to be financially free? Katie breaks down the 4% rule, why it works, and how it can be personalized and optimized for each person's retirement needs. High Standards Can Be a Double-Edged Sword – "I am an incredibly driven person because of the people who raised me... But I also have a really hard time with turning it off. I can become very narrow-minded and obsessive about the things that I'm doing." Turn Critics Into Fuel – Katie dedicated her book to an anonymous finance professional who told her to "quit writing about money" and "keep it to herself." Sometimes the best fuel comes from those who doubt you. Money Transparency in Families Creates Advantages – Katie's parents openly discussed finances, including sharing their income. "I never really thought of it as something that was taboo... made it a lot easier for me now as an adult." The Power of Life Coaching for Entrepreneurs – After initial skepticism, Katie found a life coach who told her, "You are way too in your head. You are way too concerned with the minutia. You don't even know where you wanna go yet." Intellectual Property is Everything in Negotiations – "Your intellectual property is the most valuable thing that you are negotiating over... The primary value of the thing that I'm spending 60 hours a week working on needs to be accruing to me." The 25x Rule for Financial Freedom – Based on the 4% withdrawal rule: "Once you have accumulated 25 times your annual spending... You should theoretically be able to use 4% of that amount every year, withdraw it, and live on it." Marriage Changes Everything Financially – "Marriage is the most legally significant thing you will do in your life other than die, and you don't get so much as a leaflet about how your rights have just changed." Prenups Aren't About Distrust – They're about legal protection, especially for anyone who might leave the workforce. "If you spend decades out of the workforce... You need to ensure that if your partnership ends someday... You will have a certain amount of income." Desire Drives Excellence – "If you're not curious about it, you are not going to give it your all... There is such a difference in outcomes. If I am really into something that I'm working on, it's gonna be second to none."

Let me ask you something: When your clients talk about what you do—do they repeat your language, or do they describe you the same way they describe everyone else in your space? Because here is what I see happening with a lot of high-achieving women entrepreneurs: They are amazing at what they do… but their ideas sound generic. Their offers sound like everyone else's. And that is exactly why they are getting overlooked—or underpaid. The fix? It is all about turning your ideas into branded intellectual property.

The United States and China reached a 90-day truce in the trade war when their representatives met in Geneva in early May. Both sides agreed to temporarily roll back tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers. President Trump announced that a “total reset” in US-China relations had been achieved. Beyond the hyperbole, the two sides agreed to establish a mechanism on economics and trade and launch negotiations to address trade imbalances and other problems. Whether a deal is reached, what it might look like, and what it might include, remains to be seen. The future trajectory of US-China relations, overall, is still unclear.This episode highlights a Chinese perspective on the US-China bilateral relationship, including on the recent trade talks and the factors that will influence US-China relations going forward. Sun Chenghao, a fellow and head of the U.S.-Europe program at Tsinghua University's Center for International Security and Strategy (CISS), and council member of the Chinese Association of American Studies joins host Bonnie Glaser for this episode.  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:39] What does Trump want from China? [04:29] What view does Dr. Sun hold?[05:00] Assessing the US-China Geneva Talks[09:21] Feasibility of a Broad US-China Trade Deal[13:23] Implications of Trump's “Unification” Comment[16:46] Importance of the Strategic Channel[20:47] Declining America, Rising China[23:27] Shift in US Policy Toward Alliances[27:49] The Future of US-China Relations

Behind every pixel, mechanic, and character design lies a hidden battlefield where intellectual property law shapes the games we play. From energy drinks to tattoos, the unlikely legal showdowns that define modern gaming are stranger than fiction.Play IP Sidequest Showdown. An escape-room-style game inspired by this episode. Drop a comment if you cracked the code. Monster Energy's aggressive pursuit of any game title containing the word "monster" forced Ubisoft to abandon "Gods and Monsters" despite zero connection to beverages. When NBA 2K rendered LeBron James's tattoos with perfect detail, the copyright holders demanded millions—only to have the courts rule that realistic depictions qualify as fair use. And who knew that the shattered glass texture in Resident Evil was actually a photographer's copyrighted work, leading to one of the largest copyright claims ever filed by a single artist against a game studio?The patent wars are equally fascinating. Nintendo secured a $30 million settlement from fellow Japanese developer Colopl over touch controls—yes, the way your finger moves across a screen can be proprietary. Sega claimed ownership of gacha mechanics where duplicate characters fuse to unlock abilities. And Palworld's "Pokémon with guns" approach triggered Nintendo's legal team to pursue patent infringement rather than the expected copyright route.Even legends aren't immune. Diego Maradona discovered his likeness in Pro Evolution Soccer without permission, leading to a lawsuit that transformed into a sponsorship deal.

In the age of right-click and repost, it's easy to forget that every image on the internet was created by someone -someone who owns the rights to it. Whether you're a photographer, a content creator, or just someone who loves to share pretty pictures, it's crucial to understand copyright and intellectual property laws. Photographers retain the rights to their work the moment they hit the shutter. That means just because an image is posted online doesn't make it fair game for memes, marketing, or mood boards. Using someone else's work without permission (or proper credit, or payment!) is not just bad etiquette - it's potentially illegal. Respecting copyright isn't about limiting creativity - it's about protecting it. So before you grab that perfect photo for your project, take a moment to ask: Do I have permission to use this? If not, reach out, license it properly, or create something of your own. Because being respectful of others' work helps protect your own too.

The TAKE IT DOWN Act is the first major U.S. federal law to squarely target non‑consensual intimate imagery (NCII) and to include a component requiring tech companies to act. Long handled via a patchwork of state laws, it criminalizes NCII at the federal level—both authentic images and AI-generated digital forgeries—and requires that platforms remove reported NCII within 48 hours of notification by a victim or victim's representative. TAKE IT DOWN passed with wide bipartisan support—unanimously in the Senate, and 409-2 in the House. Melania Trump championed it, and it is expected that President Trump will sign it. And yet, some of the cyber civil rights organizations that have led the fight to mitigate the harms of NCII over many years have serious reservations about the bill as passed. Why?Lawfare Contributing Editor Renée DiResta sits down with Mary Anne Franks, President and Legislative & Technology Policy Director at the Cyber Civil Rights Initiative, and Eugene L. and Barbara A. Bernard Professor in Intellectual Property, Technology, and Civil Rights Law at the George Washington Law School; Becca Branum, Deputy Director of the Free Expression Project at the Center for Democracy & Technology; and Adam Conner, Vice President, Technology Policy at the Center for American Progress to unpack what the bill does, why it suddenly cruised through on a rare bipartisan wave of support, and whether its sweeping takedown mandate will protect victims or chill lawful speech. This is a nuanced discussion; some of the guests support specific aspects of the bill, while disagreeing about the implementation of others. Expect clear explanations, constructive disagreement, and practical takeaways for understanding this important piece of legislation.More resources:TAKE IT DOWN Act Legislative Summary and TextBecca Branum and Tom Bowman's letter urging changes to TAKE IT DOWN prior to passageCyber Civil Rights InitiativeSenate press release upon House signing, including list of 120 supporting organizationsTo receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
