1.0 Transitional/Non-Transitional CLE Credit in Areas of Professional Practice
This program explores the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling in Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC, which limited the applicability of the Rogers v. Grimaldi test governing the use of trademarks in connection with expressive works. For many years, courts applied a heightened First Amendment standard (the “Rogers test”) to assess the use of trademarks in connection with expressive or artistic works. Although the majority opinion in the recent Jack Daniel’s decision did not address the merits of the Rogers test, the Supreme Court held that the use of a mark “as a mark” (i.e., as a source identifier) is not entitled to a heightened First Amendment protection, even if the use appears in an “expressive” work. This program surveys how lower courts have determined whether to apply the Rogers test in the year since the Jack Daniel’s decision.
