Janet Satterthwaite co-authored the U.S. section of a
Global Guide to the Law of Trademarks and Free Speech/Fair Use. The
Guide is a project of Marques, the European Trademark Owners'
Association. Janet also served as the native English-language
speaking Editor for the entire Guide. The final Guide will be
presented to Marques at the Annual Meeting in Monaco later this
month, where the team will also present a panel session on this
topic.
Janet is a member of the IP Outer Borders Team, which identifies
and examines emerging trends in Trademarks, and of the subteam
studying Trademarks and Human Rights, which is putting out the
Guide. She was previously leader of the subteam studying Trademarks
and Social Media. The team, which meets three times a year and has
monthly team calls and produces many projects and articles,
consists of outside counsel and in-house trademark counsel from
numerous countries.
