Clarisse De La Cerda, a College of Law S.J.D. candidate focusing on intellectual property law, moderated a “Table Topic” discussion at the International Trademark Association’s (INTA) annual meeting. The topic was “IP Protection for Video-Games: How Can Trademarks Contribute for Better Enforcement of Rights?”
“A video game encompasses multiple potentially overlapping IP protection issues. The discussion covered the most efficient strategy for IP protection and licensing, according to the participants’ experience. In the area of enforcement, we discussed how litigation can serve as a powerful weapon,” says De La Cerda.
The session ended with a Who Am I? game covering trademarks related to video games.
INTA’s Table Topics sessions offer focused discussions on trending issues and critical questions that bring together global experts from all aspects of trademark enforcement.
De La Cerda is also a member of INTA’s Academic Committee, which provides law students and professors with educational services and support.
Her S.J.D. dissertation focuses on applying an antitrust solution to the enforcement of invalid intellectual property rights. Her advisor is Professor Shubha Ghosh.
