Leora Herrmann will speak on “Litigating and Evaluating the Right of Publicity Case” at the DRI Third Biennial Intellectual Property Litigation and Insurance Seminar in Key Biscayne, Fla., November .

Can Tom Waits and Bette Midler sue over ads that use singing voices that imitate their vocal style? Why did Andy Warhol make a fortune off images of Marilyn, Jackie and Liza while another artist got slapped for selling images of The Three Stooges? Don’t gamble on the First Amendment. Learn how to assess and litigate a right of publicity case in today’s shifting legal terrain.

Copyright, trademark and patent cases continue to fill the headlines and court dockets around the country. This year’s seminar, Bet the Company! No Limit Stakes!, is structured around a video hypothetical drawn from the facts in Gibson Guitar Corp. v. PRS Guitars and will include sessions by risk managers, IP litigators and a judge, addressing the latest case developments, trial strategies and risk management issues. The program features speakers covering diverse IP litigation and general liability coverage topics, including trademark and trade dress, trade secret protection, copyright law and right of publicity. A two-track approach, tailored to the diverse interests of attendees, will meet the needs of trial counsel, claims professionals, corporate counsel and young lawyers.
