[E-trademarks] Very well written article on Uggs dispute

[Kevin Grierson]

There was also a really well-done piece on the UGG dispute on NPR’s Planet Money about 2 years ago—it included a unusually good lay explanation of a lot of facets of trademark law, largely due to their interviewing Jennifer Jenkins, and IP law professor at Duke: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/1122820376

EXTERNAL EMAIL
We all know how frequently we grit our teeth when the media covers IP issues.  Which was why this article on the Uggs dispute was such a pleasant surprise.  I was not familiar with this site, but will be reading it more regularly now as they claim all their articles are written by scholars and researchers in the relevant field.  In this case the author is an anthropologist, but she accurately conveyed the legal issues.
