12:20pm Lunch: Harmless Fun or Trademark Dilution? Parodies of Luxury Fashion While user-generated content issues are familiar in contemporary IP law, less attention has been paid to what might be called user-generated parody goods. These goods have ranged from “Chewy Vuitton” dog toys to t-shirts featuring deliberate misspellings and other modifications of fashion brands’ names and logos. High-end fashion companies have reacted to these parodied goods in different ways: some have ignored the phenomenon, while others have taken swift legal action in an effort to stamp out the goods in question. Hear the latest developments in this area and get predictions about the future of user-generated parody goods and the law pertaining to distinct varieties of such goods.Charles E. Colman, Law of Fashion Blog, NYU School of Law, New York, NY
