Tuesday, October 4 @ 12:00-1:30 pm EDT
Throughout the past few years, high profile incidents involving passengers who disrupted flights and threatened and assaulted airline crewmembers have made headline news.

This panel will discuss the actions the Federal government and industry have taken to reduce the prevalence of these incidents and protect airline crewmembers and the general public. Additionally, the panel will discuss the legal and policy challenges that government and industry stakeholders encountered through their efforts and how they sought to address them, as well as lessons learned from the past few years of dealing with these issues.

Playing with Uncertainty: Lessons for Brands Eying the Commercialization of NFTs
2:15 – 3:15 pm
The “metaverse” and non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) have continued to dominate commercial and legal discourse. These new digital worlds promise to bring new avenues for product promotion and transactions, but they also bring new challenges and obscurity to intellectual property law. NFT creators use trademarked images they claim to be “art” and profit from their sale, but the owners of these trademarks contend that the use of these images does in fact constitute infringement. In a new age of globalized digital technology, NFT and metaverse property disputes are relevant worldwide.
This panel will discuss how the use of trademarks in the art world is protected in the EU. Panelists will examine the implications of Hermes v. Rothschild and Nike v. StockX in trademark law worldwide. In house counsel will discuss trademark protection strategies and anti-counterfeiting considerations.
Speakers:
Ewa Abrams, General Counsel, Kering Americas
Jean-Baptiste Bourgeois, Partner, Rezac Law Group
Olivera Medenica, Partner, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP
Jean-Hyacinthe de Mitry, Partner, Gide Loyrette Nouel
Greenwashing, ESB focused Enforcement Actions, and Sustainability in the EU: What Global Brands Must Know
3:30pm – 4:30pm
The number of lawsuits concerning climate and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues has more than doubled globally since 2015. A growing sector of these lawsuits relate to “greenwashing,” the practice of selling investments as more sustainable or environmentally friendly than they actually are.
Agencies in both the U.S. and the E.U. have begun new ESG initiatives. In the U.S., the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new ESG task force began regulating in April of this year, and in the E.U., legislators have taken similar regulatory action to prosecute “greenwashing.”
Environmental concerns have also instigated a growing number of climate cases alleging over-reliance on “negative emission” or greenhouse gas removal to “offset” high-emission activities. Fashion and luxury retail brands are one of many industries being targeted with these climate and environmental suits.
This panel will examine the concept of greenwashing, recent SEC investigations, liability standards, and comparisons to EU standards in relation to the fashion industry.
Speakers:
Judith Bussé, Counsel, Edson
Maria Vathis, Of Counsel, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP
Nicolas Walker, Partner, Reed Smith

Indian Law & TTSL Sections: Tribal Transportation Equity Panel
2022-10-27 15:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | CA
This program, jointly hosted by the FBA Indian Law and Transportation and Transportation Security Law sections, is designed to share information with transportation and Tribal law practitioners regarding opportunities to use transportation programs to enhance Tribal sovereignty and address equity challenges in Indian country. Historically, transportation infrastructure in Tribal communities has been underfunded, which has resulted in hardships to Tribal communities. In recognition of this underinvestment and its consequences, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL or Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) increased investment in Tribal community transportation infrastructure. This program will highlight transportation programs in the BIL specifically designed to support Tribes, as well as select other programs in the BIL that Tribes are eligible to apply for funding under, and which may be used to advance equity and Tribal sovereignty. The discussion will also focus on the Tribal Transportation Self-Governance Program, which was authorized by the FAST Act and provides Tribes with greater control, flexibility, and decision-making authority over federal funds used to carry out Tribal transportation programs, functions, services and activities in Tribal communities. Opportunities to utilize recent Memorandums of Understanding related to Treaty Rights, Sacred Sites, and Protecting Native Languages to advance transportation equity in Tribal communities will also be discussed.
Presented by the Transportation and Transportation Security Law Section & the Indian Law Section
