Abstract

Since the 2022 HIPLA Fall Institute a year ago, the Supreme Court has delivered important opinions in each of the three core areas of Federal intellectual property protection:  Amgen v. Sanofi on patent rights; Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith on copyright; and Jack Daniel’s v. VIP Products and Abitron Austria v. Hetronic on trademark rights.  Refreshingly, these IP decisions do not reflect any partisan divide, and in fact three of the four decisions were unanimous.  Meanwhile, a number of certiorari petitions now pending before the Court pose interesting IP questions.  This presentation will assess the Supreme Court’s IP decisions of the past year and preview some of the cases that the Court is likely to take up in the coming months.
