Segregation sucks
"parties are advised to chill"

I invite the J.D.s, the wannabes, and the syllabically-inclined to have at it. Korematsu, Lawrence, Miranda .... so many options!

Patent:
Key patent law case:
Diamond v. Chakrabarty
Can you patent cells?

Trade Dress:
Copyright:
Sony Betamax:
Copyright infringement claims,
Held for defendants
“Non-infringing use”
Non-commercial, ‘time-shifting’
Fair use defense works.
Trademark:
