Is IP protection on your year-end checklist? 📋

As you review budgets and plan for the year ahead, consider the risks to your essential business operations involving patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.

A product’s visual identity may be protected by more than one type of intellectual property.

Rothy’s recently secured a permanent injunction through a consent judgment involving 10 design patents and trade dress rights associated with its The Point and The Flat footwear designs. The order prevents four accused footwear styles from being made, advertised, sold, or imported into the United States.

The dispute shows how design patents and trade dress can work together to protect the appearance consumers associate with a brand. It also offers an important reminder: securing IP rights is one part of protecting a product. Businesses also need a strategy and the financial resources to enforce those rights when copying occurs.

Could AI data centers become the next patent battleground?

The rapid expansion of AI is driving demand for power, cooling systems, specialized equipment, and new facility designs. Each of these technologies carries its own IP concerns.

IPWatchdog reports that at least four patent cases involving power and energy technologies connected to data centers were filed this summer. Cooling systems are also involved in patent litigation affecting operators across the country.

Intellectual property risks can be prompted by vendor supplied technology, ownership of jointly developed systems, and decisions about whether new technology should be patented or maintained as a trade secret. With billions of dollars flowing into these projects, intellectual property will play a growing role in how AI data centers are built and operated.

Read the full story:

Ensuring that AI data centers can be built safely, responsibly, and without avoidable disruption will require treating IP as part of the infrastructure strategy from the outset.
