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

Part I: Responding to the Rise in Unruly Passengers and Assaults on Aircraft
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. In 2021, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) saw a significant increase in the number of unruly passenger incidents on airlines, initiating over 1,000 investigations into violations of their regulations by individuals. In order to address the upsurge in unruly passenger incidents, government agencies and industry stakeholders have taken collaborative steps to counter the rise in this behavior. 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.

Webinar: FLSA Overview and Recent Developments
2022-09-21 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | Online, US
This presentation will provide an overview of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, addressing both the substantive components of the statute – the pay practices regulated, the jobs exempt from the statute’s purview, and the remedies available for violations – as well as the unique procedural issues that arise in cases litigated under the statute. Our speakers will discuss the procedural oddity of an FLSA collective action as distinct from a Rule 23 class action, and the types of motions and issues arising in the collective action context. The standard for certifying a collective action and sending class notice is currently the subject of a split among the circuits that could be heading to the U.S. Supreme Court. This session will alert incoming judicial clerks to all the issues and nuances to be aware of in an FLSA case.
Presented by the Judiciary Division’s Federal Judicial Law Clerk Committee and the Labor & Employment Law Section

William D. Goren, Esq., of William D. Goren, J.D., LL.M. LLC in Decatur, GA, has been dealing with the ADA as an Attorney since 1990. His law and consulting practice, https://www.understandingtheada.com/, as well as his blog, Understanding the ADA, (a member of the ABA Top 100 for five consecutive years, 2014-2018- there was no ABA 100 in 2019-2021), all focus on understanding the ADA so that the client understands what it means to comply with that law and related laws. In particular, he provides consulting, counseling, representation, and training services involving compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and related laws- such as the Air Carrier Access Act and the Fair Housing Act, among others. Mr. Goren also brings a deep, personal understanding of what it means to have a disability, equipping him with exceptional insight on how the ADA actually works. He is deaf with a congenital bilateral hearing loss of 65–90+ decibels, but functions entirely in the hearing world thanks to hearing aids, Bluetooth technology, and lip-reading. For reasons independent of his deafness, he also uses voice dictation technology to access his computer. He is also a frequent presenter, a trained mediator, a FINRA arbitrator (Chairperson eligible), and an arbitrator on the CPR employment panel. Finally, he is the author of Understanding the ADA, now in its 4th edition (ABA 2013), and numerous other articles on the rights of persons with disabilities. He is a member of various committees of the American Bar Association and is also a member of: the Federal Bar Association (FBA) Diversity and Inclusion committee; the FBA’s Civil Rights committee and its Governing Board; FBA’s Civil Rights Amicus committee; and the Chair of the FBA’s Working Group on Disability Best Practices, which formulated an accessibility manual for the FBA and its chapters. He is also a member of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Bar Association and its lead for its Amicus committee. He has an A.B. from Vassar College, a J.D. from University of San Diego School of Law, and was one of the first in the entire country to receive the LL.M. in health law, in his case from DePaul University College of Law. Interesting fact: He trained his miniature poodle to be a hearing dog while he practices virtually.
